No...I cannot agree with you here. And I consider myself Christian.
However, the salient point which you (and the ultimately murderous Puritans) missed is this. That degree matters. When you consider yourself so "good" that you kill others for disagreeing with you....you have crossed the line into the opposite sphere of evil. Jesus Christ…

Jesus Christ would have been horrified by the witch-hunts of those Puritans.
Radical Islam is rightwing totalitarianism, just as the Puritans were. Two peas in a pod. So were the movers and shakers of the Spanish Inquisition. You will have to get your head around that.
Healthy Christianity lives in the middle of the spectrum.
The salient point is, does God consider you a Christian? And to determine that you need to read and learn the Bible. And to do that you need a humble and contrite heart. I don't know what history of the founding of this nation you've ever read but probably you've never read history. The witch trials were a very brief time involving a very few people and cannot be and are not representative of the faith of the Puritans. You have only to read such puritan writers as John Owen, John Bunyan, Matthew Henry, Richard Sibbes, Richard Baxter, Thomas Watson, Jeremiah Burroughs and others. Renowned, pious men of God and the Reformed Protestant faith. Your ignorance and bigotry are worse than anyone I have ever heard. Your hatefulness borders on insanity. You need to get educated properly or get therapy. None of these Christians ever countenanced or committed murder, YOU ARE INSANE to say that.
If you think your ways are Christian ways....Jesus Christ would like to have a little talk with you. Because obviously, you badly misinterpreted a great deal of what he said. You give Christianity a bad name.
ToR -- the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 were the Puritans torturing and committing murder. Of many innocent victims. What is wrong with you that you do not know this? The Puritans of that era became evil personified. They became the same sort of evil-doers as the "Christians" who ran the Spanish Inquisition, or the radical Islamists who will kill a person for mildly disagreeing with their religious tenets. This is all totalitarianism..
By the 1690s, the Puritans in the Massachusetts Colony had become murderous totalitarians. I don't think you understand either Christianity or totalitarianism, though. You are badly extremist. There is nothing holy or good about that. You seem unable to face the truth.

Stay away from me.
