I have many issues with the Puritans, despite my being Reformed, but I’ve never liked the reductionist arguments that lay all the ills of modernity at their feet.

I think it’s great that people are examining other groups whose mindsets and influence doubtless have also played a large contributing role.

Ugh. Tony Campolo, pushing the Pozz within evangelicalism…

P.S. Two U.S. presidents were raised Quaker: Herbert Hoover, and Richard Nixon. Make of that what you will… 😉

P.P.S. Related.

    Ignorance is bliss? No, it is dead solid certainty about one’s knowledge of people, places and subjects about which one has no first-hand experience but which one did read about once in a novel or maybe saw the movie.

    Stupidity is the refusal to learn. In this day and age when whole libraries are available free or nearly free of charge online to anyone with a computer and a link there is no excuse for it. Never has so much knowledge been available to so many and never have so many shown themselves to be ignorant, arrogant and altogether foolish.

    the Slaughter of Cities is a book that tells how the Quaker mentality armed Republican Progressives in the 50s to destroy white Catholic neighborhoods to hold on to power. He’s got quite a few indictments of Quakers in there.
