It’s not the law of the land.

But killing and torture of those who did not subscribe to the particular Protestant brand of each colony were, until the federal government quelled it. Massachusetts was a particularly barbaric colony, although several others vied for its level of barbarism. Where did you guys get your education? Have you no idea of what was actually done in history or do you have the usual American glaze eyed deer in the headlights stare when it comes to actual reality?

And what shall we say of the Catholic church in that regard?

Where did you guys get your education? Have you no idea of what was actually done in history (the Inquisition) or do you have the usual American Catholic glaze eyed deer in the headlights stare when it comes to actual reality?

I got my education in your above average public school, which, for the record, is not known for teaching much of religious history.

So go ahead,.... Provide us with the links to educate us of American Protestantisms dark past and all the atrocities you mentioned. And just to be equitable, include the Catholic history in dealing with Protestants in this country as well. Based on precedent, I'm sure it's not pristine.

No. Wait. let me guess.....

A Catholic school?
