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 just where did you get this education that everyone else seems to have missed and that you can't find any links to back it up?

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

A Catholic school?

I would have expected Reggie to have had the education to get this, but no matter.

http://undergod.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=69 has the timeline for state sponsored religion for the colonies:

Most of these were varieties of Calvinist religions. If you wish, please go and take a look. I'm sorry that your education is as sorry as it is. I didn't get this from any Catholic school. Where I come from, this, along with many other elementary facts, is a matter of fact education. I'm surprised that you guys learned how to sign your names, with this level of knowledge.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_religion_in_the_United_States, although I hate to admit it, touches somewhat accurately on this subject. Who do you guys think that Cotton Mather represented? The local homeboys?
