Artistic+Conditions

**Artistic conditions** ====Puritans believed in deep communication with God, therefore, there had to be no distractions from their religion. In order for them to merge into the word of god, they avoided art, sculpture, poetry, drama or anything that might be a distraction. The result of this rough lifestyle was a wealthy and industrious community. Since God was almighty powerful, they saw their wealth as a present from God and a sign that they were correct. ====
