Puritans & Rationalist Today

What exactly are we today, puritans or rationalist? Both of them are religious groups yet share different views of life.
Puritans are extremely pious and believe only a few "Chosen Ones" can go to heaven. Hoping to be the chosen one, puritans live a hard working life. They disclaim anything that is not written in the bible as the acts of devil and Satan. On the other hand, unlike the puritans, the rationalists believe that everyone has the capacity to regulate and improve his or her own life. If people worked hard and used reasons and logics, they would be able to go to heaven. The rationalists believe that God is like a clock maker, who created a system which allows people to use logic to keep the system functioning on its own. Humans are given the power of wisdom and logic to discover scientific and spiritual truths that God created.

There is no exact answer, but most people today are rationalists. By being rationalists, humans are able to use science and logic to create advance technologies such as computers, cars, medicines and etc. Not restricted by the bible, we are able to use logic and morals to create a world today that operates on its own. One with puritan’s idea can claim that God is still actively participating in shaping our world, such as creating Global Warming phenomenon to punish the evil deeds of technologies. Yet, in today’s world, we believe that by doing good things and keeping the system working, God will bless us.
