    Victim envy. The Puritans had a great thing going in Holland, except for the fact that they had to consort with other people who wanted religious freedom. The Puritans needed to be isolated so they could be 'free' of other people's ideas.

    Remember, you aren't free unless you're standing on another person's back.

    Anyone who is desperate to keep our other ideas usually has such weak ideas that they fall to the simplest questioning. Puritans were authoritarians who were being asked basic questions and didn't like it... Basically proto fascists who had the option to GTFO and took it. Then repressed and murdered native Americans en masse because they were the "other" while promoting uneven applications of laws they set.

    Jack Chick made a "career" if it.

    This looks to be his handiwork.

    EDIT: Volkditty corrected me.
