Wow. It's so taboo to talk about the human body that you can't even say "pubic hair"? I am so grateful not to have grown up there and I feel so bad for everybody who did.
evangelical Christians are so sexually repressed from puritanical beliefs, it drives them into sexual deviancies in some cases.
Biggest mistakes in human history:
Letting the Puritans leave instead of killing them
Letting them settle a continent instead of killing them
Letting them live after defeating them in a civil war
Letting them take over government instead of killing them
Just gonna point out that the Puritans who settled in the North like those of the Massachusetts Bay colony eventually evolved into churches like that ran by old John Brown. Northern Puritans were often times radical egalitarians who helped lay the groundwork for things like the og labor movements of the 1800s, eventually some even evolved into modern universalist churches.
I note all of this to say that Southern derived Puritans are little more than slavers under new clothes. It's all to reinforce the Southern derived social order and hierarchy, which is to say if Northern Puritans were subject to their congregation and their god Southern Puritans were subject to the rich and their bigotry.
Sorry just something that I think needs to be spread about, I ain't even Christian I'm a Heathen but Northern Puritans are distant kin so I feel the need to defend them. Also some of them were based and outright armed union militia which is just fucken great.
It's more the evangelicals, not the puritans. Evangelizing / forcing their beliefs onto others with no regard to other's wishes is a core evangelical belief.
The Puritans literally came to the new world to start a theocracy. They weren't seeking freedom from oppressive British rule. They were seeking a place where they could force their extreme views on others.
Later on, their supporters in England actually took over, killed the king, installed their own leaner (Cromwell), and led England into such a clusterfuck that the English revolted against the Puritans and asked the dead King's son to come back and be King.
I'm angry too but there MUST be better solutions to these problems than genocide. It's easy to wave your hand and say "make them gone forever" but it's lazy and cruel. If you want it fixed, put the time in. Genocide is for pussies.
I feel like openly advocating for genocide doesn't make you much better than them.
Like public hair.
You can't say stuff like that on here. If I get aroused it's going to be your fault.
Please don't say arou*ed. A child might read the internet.
Listen here, ****** ***** *** ************ *** * ****** ******** *** ********* ** *****. And that's all I have to say about *******.
