Mark, simply repeating a ridiculous accusation does not constitute proof of that ridiculous accusation.

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.

Don't say we weren't warned:

2 Peter 2

1 - There were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will introduce destructive heresies and even deny the Master who ransomed them, bringing swift destruction on themselves.

2 - Many will follow their licentious ways, and because of them the way of truth will be reviled.

3 - In their greed they will exploit you with fabrications, but from of old their condemnation has not been idle and their destruction does not sleep.

That's the second time you've made this laughtable statement. Put up your evidence, or we'll just consider it more RC fiction.
