Welcome to fanatical hell, Del. Oft-Misquoted Adams Quip What you see in a great many quotes lists: This would be the best of all possible worlds if there were no religion in it!!! -- John Adams, letter to Thomas Jefferson The real context of what Adams was saying: Twenty times in the course of my late reading have I been on the point of breaking out, "This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it!!!" But in this exclamation I would have been as fanatical as Bryant or Cleverly. Without religion this world would be something not fit to be mentioned in polite company, I mean hell. -- John Adams, quoted from Charles Francis Adams, ed., Works of John Adams (1856), vol. X, p. 254
