Puritans Vs Quakers
A fascinating comparison of Puritan and Quaker Ethics provides some interesting insight into the dichotomy of our nations founders. It’s also something that shows a few of the items that Amy and I have discussed re: religion.
Her experience with the Xian church is much more along the puritan axis. Mine, not completely of course, has been on the Quaker side of things. (Though with a lot more guilt thrown in.) 🙂
An interesting quote comes along with this link:
For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes. But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. – Kurt Vonnegut, Cold Turkey
