DYK #Puritans tried to end #SexualCorruption by reforming English life? They tried to ban maypoles, taverns, theaters & #brothels & to force taking the Sabbath seriously & stop sex outside marriage. They made people angry & had to leave town! HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #HistSex
Who were the first people to BAN #Christmas? Why, the #Puritans, of course!

#Puritans of today, #TrumpKKKristians & other #fundamentalists, want to force their #AntiSex doctrines on everyone in the name of salvation. They also want to punish all those who cannot or refuse to accept them: women who use #BirthControl or #abortion, #queers, & #zoophiles
Black background quote graphic with a portrait of Thomas Manton (1620โ1677), an English Puritan preacher. The quote from An Exposition with Notes on the Epistle of James explains that anyoneโstranger or enemyโis our neighbor, sharing one human family and capable of the same glory, and therefore deserving love and goodwill.
Thomas Manton, English Puritan, taught that mercy must extend to all. Scripture calls even strangersโand enemiesโour neighbors: one blood, one humanity, capable of the same glory we hope for. Therefore we must do them good as we would our own. How will you love your neighbor?

The #Puritans have manufactured a faux illness called "Cannabis hyperemesis syndrome" because they hate #Marijuana smokers. They claim weed makes you puke. Their preferred replacement is beer, which famously settles your stomach. Yeah, no one has ever puked from beer. thehill.com/homenews/nex...

#OnThisDay in 1620, #Puritans began construction of Plymouth, heralding the beginning of the #genocide of #indigenous Native Americans; the US is now using $3.8 billion a year in US taxes +$33 billion to fund #ApartheidIsrael's ethnic cleansing of occupied Palestine ๐

DYK #Puritans in early New England believed #coitus was a โHoly Delightโ? #SexPlay outside marriage was a #sin, but in marriage it was a remedy to sin/#fornication & would improve the character of the โchosen peopleโ. Ghosts of #HistSex still haunt. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com

These are not in alphabetical order. They are ranked by most dangerous as per @bsky.app . So that means #Bluesky thinks that seeing a working nipple is more dangerous to your child than "Child Safety"--say, a pervert trying to lure your child to a park. This is what happens when #Puritans run amok.
Congregational Library & Archives will be hosting a fun seasonal virtual lecture "Christmas with the Puritans" on Tuesday, December 16th!

This is how broken we are as a species. This movie was made in 1989. If you showed this movie on a plane today, the airline would get sued. If you showed it to a child, you would go to prison. The #Puritans warped our minds to please a "king" who lives in the clouds. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_yQ...
Why the Puritans left England for America youtu.be/BZ-F5IY20UU?... #Puritans #EnglishHistory #ReligiousHistory
DYK 18thC Southerners had a much looser attitude toward marriage than the #Puritans? Reverend Charles Woodmason, who traveled in the Carolinas from 1766 to โ72, was appalled by the way rural people lived. Men had more than one wife. They had mistresses.
I think it's sad that so many #Puritans are trying to censor you that you have to deliberately misspell "rape" in order to be accepted by the "community standards" robots. #Censorship #Religion
