Christian Adamites of
the 4th century took their name from Adam and embraced his primordial
nakedness.
Kindred sects reemerged
in Europe between the 14th-17th centuries. They proscribed marriage
but held that the most perfect
innocence
was
consistent
only with
nakedness
and women held in common.
Sure beats burning people
alive.
Holy Murder
"Take
heed ye break not our ecclesiastical laws, for then ye are sure to
stretch by the halter."
– John
Endicott.
Governor, Christian colony of Massachusetts,
1660.
