I was raised to think that if you behaved badly with men, you went to hell. I realise now it is puritanical and not very adult.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We're more sexually repressed than men, having been given a much more strict puritanical code of behavior than men ever have.
I was raised thinking I'd burn in hell for being gay, but I didn't have a choice. It's just who I am.
I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell.
In the early days of the New England colonies, no more embarrassing or hampering condition, no greater temporal ill, could befall any adult Puritan than to be unmarried.
What is the damnation of hell? To go with that society who have not obeyed His commands.
I've discovered I am quite a puritanical person.
It is bad for a young man to sin; but it is worse for an old man to sin.
But we're still in somewhat a Puritanical society in a lot of ways.
I learned from my Adventist upbringing that the biggest sins were sexual.
I had a strong, really good upbringing, not puritanical.
