Anyone a NeoPuritan?

Postby HitRed on Fri Jun 14, 2019 7:22 pm

Puritans were universally opposed to blood sports such as bearbaiting and cockfighting. They advocated greater purity of worship and corporate piety. Corporate piety? Puritans believed that the state should promote true religion and that religion should influence politics and social life. They also banned Christmas and Easter. The Puritans showed intolerance to other religious views, including Quaker, Anglican and Baptist theologies. Allowing a Quaker in the village gets you hanged. They believed the Antichrist, the Roman Catholic Church, and the Ottoman Empire where out to get them. They also banned toasting each other, with the explanation that it led to wasting God's gift of beer. Leading to the college commandment Thou shall not waste beer!
