Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God

Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God is a story about God and the Puritans. Jonathan Edwards was a preacher at that time an he was very well known among the Puritans. He preached about God and how people must not sin.                 
Edwards is saying how God is ready at any moment to punish you, if you sin. He tells us that God holds the water from killing the puritans and how he will drop them in hell if they sin. He also said in the story that God is waiting to shoot the Puritans with an arrow if they stepped out of line.

I myself cannot imagine a god like this. If a god existed, he would not punish his followers for every single mistake, I think he would rather show them the right way to life. No one is able to avoid any mistake and that is probably why the Puritans do not exist any more. Their religion asked them impossible things.
