What happened to the puritans in America?

they lived on in shit like the Hayes and Comic codes

settled in the middle of nowhere driven out by other americans.

The American work ethic comes from them too

In a historical sense, yes. We are the institutional descendants of the Puritan and Separatist dissenters. Theologically, liturgically, etc. we bear very little resemblance to them however, but that makes us no different than most American protestant groups

why did you change

>They weren't the first people.
It was the first founded as a civilian colony, where the primary motive for going there wasn't to make money.

Indeed. The "Work hard and suffer" mentality so you can be more like Jesus concept.

Because all religion changes over time. Even you Catholics aren't the same as you were four hundred years ago

>It was the first founded as a civilian colony, where the primary motive for going there wasn't to make money.
That doesn't change anything.
They still weren't the first people.

You are making things up to fit your ideals

i'm not catholic
are you all anglo (wasp)?

No, I am a central european mutt. But my grandparents joined the Congregational church, and my mother and I were raised in it, so I fully feel to be part of that religious tradition.

The Puritan movement really didn't outlast that first generation of colonists.

interesting
what did your grandparents convert? what were they originally? are most congregationalists no longer anglo?

*why did

Kraut and mick immigration

It was not so much sexual prudery that defined them as it was sharia-tier ideas of religion. Gambling, sports, celebrating Christmas, theater and stage plays and whatnot were haram to Puritans. Adultery was a penal offense and witches were prosecuted for a time, although this had also died out by the end of the century.

The Puritans also had absolutely no desire to tolerate other faiths, although in the 17th century this was not exactly an unusual stance to have, and it led to dissenters founding Rhode Island as a haven for religious freedom.

My grandparents didn't really "convert". My grandmother was not religious, but my grandfather was raised Lutheran. When they moved to the suburbs in the 50s, my grandfather chose to join the church he liked the most, which was the Congregational church. This was at a time when mainline Protestantism was at its height and ecumenicism was a big thing, so changing denomination was not seen as a huge step.

Actually, I would say that most congregationalists have some anglo ancestry. I know for a fact that we are one of the whitest denominations.

The South, which had a warmer climate and no Puritanism, had a much more relaxed social atmosphere. Theater, gambling, and horse racing were popular pastimes. Upper class Southerners practiced the genteel Episcopalian faith while lower class whites and slaves practiced the more hellfire sects like Baptism and Pentecostalism.

>Pentecostalism
illiterate retard

stop being a fucking autist

It's funny how a group of religious lunatics who devolved into cannibalism inform so much of America's political, sexual and cultural attitudes.

The Jamestown colony wasn't Puritan. Not to mention the Puritan's influence is overstated anyway.

the Quakers were more prudish

you know these same people made up the first Anglo-Canadians?

We got balanced out by the fact that fun loving, sexually integrating and adventurous catholic french fur trappers got there first.

Like women getting arrested for breastfeeding children in public or little children not being allowed to bath naked.

Or 1/3 of all names in the sex offender's registry belonging to minors

Public breastfeeding is explicitly protected in almost all 50 states, including New England, where the Puritan colonies existed. And I'm pretty sure the Puritans didn't settle in Idaho, the only state without legal protections for public breastfeeding.

Were the only ones to have accomplished anything of value. The difference in quality of life, education, HDI, health, ect between New England and the s*outh is astounding.

They converted to feminism
