Jayzus! people, lighten up and enjoy an exciting TV series containing enough realism, plot and good acting to put it into the top ten of all programs watched on Thursday nights.
It is obvious that a good deal of research has gone into the series, nitpicking aside, and before Freepers rail on about the Church not crucifying apostates, be happy that the History Channel isn’t doing a series about the Inquisition or Puritan witch burning or the religious motivations behind the 30 Years War. Believe me, Christian history, like the history of any religion, will net you enough blood, gore and sadism to keep your stomach empty for a month.
The Puritans were burning witches?
I know that burning alive was common among American Indians, but I don’t think whites were using it.
