(7,671 posts)One of the problems is that these religious fanatics have forgotten their own history (or just plain reject it).
The revivalist New Light Baptists of 1780 in Virginia petitioned the state government (governor: T Jefferson)
to dis-establish the Anglican church as the official religion of the state - they were paying fines, were threatened
with other sanctions and discrimination, for not attending Anglican or Episcopalian services. 250 years later
they want to impose their own system on everybody else. Of course this new lot has different roots and different
teachings than those 18th century fundamentalists - it's unlikely they consider anything outside the revelations
of their new prophets as worth consideration.
