Almost to a man (or woman), either directly, or by silence, our Reformed brethren deny the Calvinist state religions set up by most of the colonies, in the same form that they deny that the Anglicans dabbled in Calvinism.
http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/brief-salem.html touches on the insanity in Salem. Would this be enough, or shall I continue?
Yes I can but I'm not willing to track your individual posts. I suggest you track them yourself and concentrate on each one that shows hatred to the Colonies, their murderous and barborous, "Protestant" Government.
Not necessary. Their unlettered descendants right here on FR provide ample evidence of their intentions.
Ping to post.
Of course it's not enough. IIRC there were 19 innocents executed. That is a matter of history, is sad and sickening, but is one single community. You have condemned all the Colonies. Document it and while you're at it, document the witches executed as a result of the various Inquisitions.
This is so predictable.. I knew that this was going to be the marker used.. 19 people killed.. thats it mark.. you insinuated that ALL the protestant colonies tortured and killed those of other faiths (not witches)
Show us where there were Baptists or Methodists or Anabaptists or any religious torture and murder in the protestant colonies and I will present you with the work of Rome in England and Scotland under dear Mary, and the inquisition in Europe.... people in glass houses need to keep their hands in their pockets
You posted this comment in post 567.
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?
To which I replied in post 573:So go ahead,.... Provide us with the links to educate us of American Protestantisms dark past and all the atrocities you mentioned.
Old Reggie and I have asked you to provide the links to demonstrate the killing and torture that went on in the colonies with Massachusetts being particularly barbaric until the federal government put a stop to it.
As of yet you have not provided it. You sent me to find out myself. You provided links that show a overview of the religious makeup of the colonies. But as of yet, nothing demonstrating the killing and barbarism that you claim happened until the federal government stepped in to stop it.
SO where did you get YOUR education? You already said that it was not a Catholic school. What other options are there? A public school that you have already dissed? Or were you homeschooled?
If your age is anywhere above 30-ish, homeschool is pretty much out. That leaves Catholic, private/Christian, or public.
You didn't go to a public school, did you?
