Uh!.!.!. none!?

The Puritans believed that ease and enjoyment of life was a sin!. Toys, celebrations and games were considered blasphemous, as were "superflous" items like extra blankets and food and the likes!. And New England has rather brutal winters!. I can't imagine it being a good time!. But at least they weren't being persecuted by other groups, like they were back in England!. Once they came to New Engalnd they just persecuted eachother in the Salem Witch Trials!. Nice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They were all puritans!. Then they grew up and became republicans and called abortion murder and people who didn't agree with them the devil!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
