Your understanding of history is seriously flawed.
Mark, there was ample evidence posted in this thread to support your assertion that the Pilgrims killed Quakers and other non-Calvinists. Those that have actually studied history or even merely read the posts have a clear understanding of the facts. We need only ask ourselves a simple question; are we to believe our own eyes or bitter old cultists whose denials of history are as believable as the continued assertions by the Communist Chinese that the Tienanmen Square massacre never happened.
Since my claim is not a ridiculous accusation, and is borne out throughout American history including the personal and official histories of the colonies, including the most repugnant Massachusetts colonies, I see that this is proof enough. May I enquire which redacted American histories are your preference?
Your understanding of history is seriously flawed.
My understanding of history is that it is what actually happened. I understand that cults do not wish history to be factually reported. The LDS and the OPC are in lockstep on this one. In this case, every American textbook on the era indicates the depth of religious persecution visited on everyone else by the various Calvinist colonies. The most tolerant were the non Calvinist colonies in Rhode Island, Maryland and Pennsylvania. The Quakers were run out of Massachusetts at the point of the swords and from the barrel of the guns of their Calvinist oppressors. That is why there are so many of them in Pennsylvania. The Baptists were run out of every Calvinist settlement and forced South, again at the point of the Calvinist sword and the barrel of the Calvinist gun.
The 1st Amendment occured entirely due to the Calvinists practicing their own warped version of Christianity against the rest of humanity.
