A little harsh maybe, but would probably straighten out the rest of them.

The Salem Trials were conducted by Puritans, a group from England seeking asylum from further religious persecution. I do not believe there are any "Puritans" as in those days any longer. Some groups may have evolved from Puritans though. By saying "Christians", this is a blanket statement while Puritans were a very very small minority of the Christian population.

Well, why don't you toddle on over to the Middle East and parts of Africa. They concur with you and practice it on a regular basis.
Since Salem is short for Jerusalem (don't look too hard for that common root, but you hear it regularly), I bet you get away with calling it the Salem Christian Trials.

How about What they Did to the Native American's I wish I could agree with you But!!! Here Why I Cann't!!!
Each morning upon rising, and each evening before sleeping, give thanks for the life within you and for all life, for the good things the Creator has given you and for the opportunity to grow a little more each day. Consider your thoughts and actions of the past day and seek for the courage and strength to be a better person. Seek for the things that will benefit others (everyone).
2. Respect. Respect means "To feel or show honor or esteem for someone or something; to consider the well being of, or to treat someone or something with deference or courtesy". Showing respect is a basic law of life.
3. Once a council has decided something in unity, respect demands that no one speak secretly against what has been decided. If the council has made an error, that error will become apparent to everyone in its own time.
4. Be truthful at all times, and under all conditions.
5. Always treat your guests with honor and consideration. Give of your best food, your best blankets, the best part of your house, and your best service to your guests.
6. The hurt of one is the hurt of all; the honor of one is the honor of all.
7. Receive strangers and outsiders with a loving heart and as members of the human family.
8. All the races and tribes in the world are like the different colored flowers of one meadow. All are beautiful. As children of the Creator they must all be respected.
9. To serve others, to be of some use to family, community, nation, and the world is one of the main purposes for which human beings have been created. Do not fill yourself with your own affairs and forget you’re most important talks. True happiness comes only to those who dedicate their lives to the service of others.
10. Observe moderation and balance in all things.
11. Know those things that lead to your well-being, and those things that lead to your destruction.
12. Listen to and follow the guidance given to your heart. Expect guidance to come in many forms; in prayer, in dreams, in times of quiet solitude, and in the words and deeds of wise Elders and friends.
Wahoo!!!

That is an ignorant statement. Who gave you the right to decide this. Are you putting yourself above God (whatever he/she may be called.
