November 4, 1646

Posted on November 4, 2019 by Joel Byers

On November 4, 1646, the Massachusetts Bay Colony (which was to later become the state of Massachusetts) passed a law that made it illegal to deny that the Christian Bible was the word of God. The penalty was death. There is nothing funny about this. It shows why every religion should be denied a foothold in forming the laws and regulations of a government. They’ll institutionalize those beliefs and make it a crime to question those religious beliefs.
