Puritans ...

While learning about the Puritan religious beliefs ...it got me thinking.

Their beliefs were so darn strict ! They HAD to read the bible and if they did not they'd be considered to be worshiping the devil. Women had to wear such modest clothing, which actually ii don't not consider a bad thing At All, but we read that if the women wore even something like a little bow in their hair, it was considered immodest. Showing skin above the elbow, wearing tight clothing, sleeveless shirts or dresses ...was ALL considered immodest. 

You had to live this life of such strictness as if God was watching every single of your move, BUT at the same time they believed that the people to go to Heaven are already chosen. 

My interest in this honestly grew more and more when I realized how similar the guidelines for these beliefs , but not the exact practice were similar to the ones of Hinduism. 

In this culture, there are SO many strict beliefs that one HAS to follow in order to be considered a part of the society. And the thing is that this only played part in small communities where everyone was together rather than segregated into different area ; which it worked the same way for the Puritan before the members started spreading out . 

Women are supposed to be always dresses modest or the people around WILL start assuming things.

Everyone is required to go to the temple. And it's like if you don't go to the temple, people consider you like you don't have any kind of knowledge. They will seriously look down upon you & will again, assume , that you are against the nature of God and do not believe in Him. Just like with the Puritan society , a member not going to the church would be considered to be worshiping the devil .

Idk , just the connections my mind makes sometimes , are TOTALLY absurd ..

But in one way or another they're true.
