What about Puritan-style rules, with bible-reading and church attendance mandatory?

This is a might more serious than it looks.
Did you know that the last estimate of the death toll across Europe reached 1.3 millions souls tortured and roasted to death in the name of G-d. Whole villages in places like Scotland were left womanless, children lost their mothers, parents their daughters. Women and girls constituted 95% of the deaths.
For those who care to remember this is an emmotive issue. The inquisition, sometimes known as the female holocaust, was a time when patriarchal church leaders quaked with terror at the sheer power of women, believing them to be instruments of the devil, a source of evil, bringers of impurity to men.
As both a Jew and a woman I feel it equally important to remember them both. Lest we forget xxxx
p.s. no Im not black as well.

"Bring back"?! Did it ever truly died out? It just changed its shape and name... but it's still there. The Inquisition was famous 4 its murders. Just take a look at what's going on in the world today... and u'll see that TODAY, the one word by which we can characterise modern society is VIOLENCE. Maybe because MAN, by definition, is a violent animal... Has been since the beginning of time... MAN IS THE ONLY PRIMATE WHO KILLS ITS OWN KIND.

You have to be kidding. Of course this is impossible, but hypothetically speaking they would meet a certain sort of resistance nowadays.
