These people are not the ones that any american i know would want to associate with. for the simple fact that the way they think they should live there life is horrible. i would like to believe that these puritans no longer exist but i am probably wrong and they do exist. i would describe these modern puritans to be hopefully a little more accepting for people who question the church. these people would have to live in a remote rural area away from other people who are not puritans so like Montana and places over there is where u could find some of them. like i said before i hope that people in society today have chosen to go down this puritan life style cause that will get you living in Montana or something and everyone knows you don't want to live in Montana. other than that there really is not much too say about them just that they would be very mysterious people and live probably a very different life than the normal american.
Also another tough thing is probably finding a job that you can work and still follow puritan rules that could be quite difficult.
I think that if you delved a little deeper that you could find a few modern parallels of the Puritan and various religious groups today. Though you make a good point of them not really existing today, I feel that there could be many examples to choose from.
ReplyDeleteI understand what you mean by them not being as common, but I do still think there are other groups tat are similar and strict to their beliefs as the Puritans were. And there probably not just living in Montana.
ReplyDeleteI agree that hopefully Modern puritans would be a little more accepting, but i dont think they would be. This is considering that Puritans tend to be very strict and dont accept any outsiders.
