Based on what I know, those of the Puritan religion are very religious. Therefore, my opinion of today's Puritan would be similar to how they were two hundred years ago.
I say this because, based upon the literature that we've read about Puritans, there isn't really much flexiblity in their religion. For example, in The Crucible, people died for being different. Like, seriously? There would be no such thing as the Puritan belief anymore. So many people in today's society are different, it doesn't make any sense!
My point is that Puritanism would either be dead or very strict as they already were.
Yep, the Puritan society is dead. The temptation of modern technology or things outside the religion probably caused alot of people to leave the religion. I for one would not like to live in a strict society like the Puritans did,
ReplyDeleteIt's true that Puritanism has been long dead, but what if they were able to observe America and our culture today? Of course, they would be spouting "this whole country is going to hell" and such. But would all of this culture shock some sense into them? Or would they completely reject this society and consider the future as doomed?
