Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God

God, he has the ability to punish does who sin. The Puritans have fear in God when they think they are sinning. This fear is still present even though they think that they are the chosen ones that will go to heaven. That has made the Puritans live in a very strict manner as if their lives are on the line. 

I am not religious at all so I can't say much about the powers of God and what else he is able to do if you disobey his rule. I think that the Puritans had lost their reasoning when they thought that God would punish them for all the tiniest things that they did like read a book that's not the bible, and basically anything else from the bible. Like I said earlier I don't know anything about religion so I don't understand why people follow the bible in such a strict way as the Puritans did. What made the Puritans think that God prefers them over other religions? Why do they believe in predestination?

Introduction

Hello everyone, I’m Ivan Gil a sophomore at Whitney Young High School. This is the first time I have actually made a blog for any reason. Well, I’ll start talking about things I like. I’m a big soccer fan and my favorite team is Pumas, a team from the Mexican soccer league. As for music I will listen to pretty much anything at least once, but I prefer Jimmy Eat World, Lupe Fiasco, and Coldplay. I play a lot of video games on my Xbox; right now I mostly play Cod4 (in my opinion the best game ever). Now as for siblings, I only have one younger sister. At home I only speak Spanish because my parents don’t now English. That makes tings hard on all of us because I’m not that good on translating things for them, but I’m proud to have the Hispanic heritage in me. That’s all I have to say about myself.
