In 1630, the Puritans fled England to the Massachusetts coast, looking to evade religious persecution. Within 20 years, they had become the persecutors, directing their wrath at the Quakers.

Why would you care what they did hundreds of years ago. None of it has anything to do with you. There is no reason to deal with it at all. Stop playing the martyr. The puritans were just religious fanatics that were upset that they themselves could not be the oppressors so they came to America and tried to oppress everyone else. When that didn't work, they did what any good religion does, they started murdering people that didn't conform to eliminate the competition and to subjugate their own people through fear.

They forgot to mention why the ideals of Puritanism began to fade in the late 17th century. One was because of the horrors of King Philip’s War: the bloodiest and most destructive war in American history, which although was a victory for the Puritans, deeply shook their ideals. The other was the Salem Witch Trials, which caused many to lose faith in the Puritan movement altogether. As increasing trends of cosmopolitanism and trade between the colonies increased, New England was absorbed into the British Empire. By the dawn of the 18th century, the Puritan movement was effectively finished.

The thing this documentary gets wrong is that the Puritans weren't really fleeing religious persecution in England, most of them were already in Holland which had religious freedom and it would be far easier for members to just move there. The problem they were having in Holland is that the members were exercising that freedom and leaving the congregation in droves.

@@ultravioletpisces3666 In the United States, the word, "Pilgrims"especially when capitalized and especially when combined with the definite article - "the Pilgrims" - is a reference to people who came to North America from Holland (I think it was then called "the Dutch Republic") on the Mayflower. Most (maybe all) of those people had left England to go to Holland because of persecution in England. Those People were puritans (or, more specifically, belonged to a more radical branch of the puritan movement called separatists). They appreciated the freedom of the Dutch Republic but also "hated' living there because they considered the Dutch to be to "worldly" and considered the worldly Dutch to be a bad influence on their children.

The problem was a lack of economic and financial opportunity in Holland as well as England because of the religious associations. A colony in American had more opportunity because there was not authority already present there to oppress them in economic ways, as the Puritans would be the authority once established. Investing in a Puritan settlement also had the potential to be profitable for speculative nonsectarian investors since the Puritans would establish order via religious doctrine, which means the colonists would be more likely to work hard and be productive and so produce profit and appealing financial return for investors.

The Puritans had no charge to be "tolerant of other religions." The charge they had is called "The Great Commission" in Matthew 28. It is important therefore, if you must condemn someone or something, to condemn Christianity not its followers for intolerance of other religions. You may charge the Puritans only of being faithful to their charge, given by the one they believe to be their Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. So the task before you is to show that the Great Commission is intolerant of other religions as is the one who spoke the Great Commission...and that would be Jesus himself. Bear in mind that it would a good idea to first establish the truth of the assumption that tolerance is an absolute of the first order. People such as G. K. Chesterton is quoted as having said: "Tolerance is the last bastion of the scoundrel." He meant that he was opposed to these weak-kneed people who cannot take a stand on anything and therefore cluck-cluck about tolerance in stead.

@@noahtylerpritchett2682 Hi, Noah. Good words. I was a pastor in Maine back in the 90's. That is when the issue of tolerance came to the fore having been brought forth by liberals who wanted to neuter traditional Judeo-Chistian values and mores. What they were saying, in essence, is that if anyone disagrees with our disagreeing with historic Judeo-Christian values and morals, you are intolerant. It was okay for them to disagree but it was not okay for others to disagree. They were upholding "freedom of speech," but everyone else was being intolerant. With the liberals having won the culture wars, we are now seeing the truth. They have no interest in tolerance whatsoever. Intolerance was simply a tool they used to shut down conservatives. Liberals are the most intolerant people on planet earth, as the woke movement and censorship my social media demonstrates. Notice their foaming at the mouth over Elon Musk and Twitter.

I've thought about it quite a bit, and I think the two differed in how they thought of human beings. Puritans were influenced by the teachings of John Calvin. John Calvin's teachings are what we today call "total depravity." It's the ultimate pessimism of human nature. The idea that every human is so corrupted by sin that everything we do is in some way touched by our sinful nature. When you think that way you'd be much more willing to think that an entire community is best centered around a single institution. In this case the Puritan church. To have a personal relationship with God would mean you can know Him independent of the church. That's not something the Puritans were fond of. That's how I understand it.

The Puritans hated the Quakers largely because their Christian philosophy was more closely aligned with that of founder, Jesus of Nazareth.

Oh come on. Puritans did not hate Quakers for being more "Christian". I could make that the argument for whichever side I favored whenever two or more sects squabbled. The Quakers at that time could be as vehement and self-righteous as anyone else. They interrupted other sect's church services, yelled at people, made noise, destroyed property. They were even accused of ripping their clothes off in public to get attention. Thank God they were pacifists! Lol. And yes, they were more forward-thinking than most groups when it came to equality but many early Quakers in the North American British colonies owned slaves. Even many years after the American Revolution, the U.S. Quakers at least were hesitant to admit black members. And later on they would have many schisms although all sects would try to stay "friends". Other than that I guess they were pretty woke.

Religion is the sum of those beliefs, practices and prohibitions that pertain to a person's concept of the highest powers of the universe. The puritans were wrong to penalize people who didn't agree with their concept of the highest powers of the universe, people who didn't subscribe to the puritans' religious practices and especially people who violated the puritans' religious prohibitions. Today, the dominant religion in North America is based on a very different concept of the highest powers of the universe. The religious practices and prohibitions of the people who subscribe to that (thousands-of-years-old but only recently dominate in North America) concept of the universe have their own list of requirements and prohibitions. It is just as wrong for those people to impose their concepts of ethics on the rest of the population as it was wrong for the puritans to impose their theistic religion in their colonies. Now the question is whether we can agree on a name for this only-recently-dominate religion. Any suggestions?

I absolutely adore the theology of the Puritans, but I absolutely abhore their politics. Take Reformed Baptists, for example. The only real theological difference between a Puritan and a Reformed Baptist is on who should be baptized and associated implications on covenant theology. Puritans put a great many Baptists to death for that sole difference. On top of that, the Puritans' descendants soon after parted from their ancestors' orthodox faith rooted in Scripture but kept their persecutory politics; see the radical terrorist John Brown, often described as the most rightly executed man in American history, as an example. It was that type of puritanism that led a million Americans to die in the 1860s, not a religious puritanism, but a political one.

Jesus tried to lovingly teach His gospel to all who would listen--if He was attacked by unbelievers, He followed His own teachings. It doesn't get any better than this!

@@jandreid1056 Yes, but when He drove out the money changers, that was righteous indignation--not real violence. And this: Mat 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. He's not speaking of Him and His followers doing violence--it's all about the enmity of Satan against Christ, and His followers. He also spoke of how families that were not all His people would be divided and torn asunder, as it were. A good example would be the Roman Catholic papacy. For hundreds of years they tortured and murdered an estimated 50 to 150 true saints of God. The papacy is not Christian--it is in fact the anti-Christ.

Given Islam is predicted to become the biggest religion over time, and it's already spreading to Europe and N. America, it seems it will be a glorious time to follow Muhammad and become a Muslim.
