Colonial House
Is anyone else watching this? I loved frontier house and really enjoy PBS's attempts at educational reality tv.
i'm finding myself a bit torn on the whole sabbath laws issue from last nights episode. i'm an atheist and and i would not usually advocate forced church, but in this case it seems essential to the experiment. if you're going to recreate colonial life as authentically as possible it has to include church. obviously we cannot recreate how people felt about religion but for the sake of the experiment i think all participants should at least go through the motions.
that said i think the governer's dream world where all the colonists love god in the exact same way that he does is a bunch of crap (go ahead, pin me with a P).
