Still excellent reading. The Mayflower carried Christian separatists away to relative safety. Thinking about it, with the number of different varieties of Christians ending up in what was to become the USA, what would have been the chances of it starting out as a hard line Christian community then over the generations evolved into something really nasty. New Testament = peace & love. Old Testament = An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. Children punished for something their fathers did several generations back etc. etc.
Hard line Christians aren't well known for their tolerance of other faiths. As for stoning to death, we were at it way before the Muslims.
