Yeah, people were subjected to water torture for kissing, and
religious freedom only meant their severe doctrine. They are mirrored
today by the Teliban and the horrible shiria based Islamic
theocracies. many Americans today would be inclined to fight against
such a society today as an oppressor. If living in such strict rigid
places is your game, my blessings on starting or joining a society of
that ilk! I would prefer a 'rainbow gathering/Burning man culture.
