LTM- "I don't see how one misplaced quote nullifies my entire argument"
If you can`t quote someone correctly, how am I to believe you know what the heck you`re talking about to begin with? What other incorrect information are you spewing?
Liking a quote because it sounds good without knowing its context is foolish, irresponsible, and misleading. Not to mention it now nullifies your whole argument.
Perhaps you also don`t know all the facts of what you believe in.
Life, don`t waste your time arguing your point with Ltm. His little quote by John Adams, "This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it”, isn`t even a good argument for his point. He took it out of context to make himself sound intelligent and support his cause.
The complete quote, which was taken from a letter to Thomas Jefferson actually says this,
"Twenty times, in the course of my late Reading, have I been upon the point of breaking out, "This would be the best of all possible Worlds, if there were no Religion in it"!!! But in this exclamati[on] I should have been as fanatical as Bryant or Cleverly [Adams' boyhood parish priest and Latin school master]. Without Religion this World would be Something not fit to be mentioned in polite Company, I mean Hell."
Meaning, he did not want to live in a world without religon.
People who are against religon love to throw that quote out there.
Curious, when did athletics become more important than actual schooling?
I have no problem with parochial schools, but I do have a problem when their athletics become more important than the academics. Amazing how the schools were supposedly built on the foundation of a Catholic faith, yet if I go to a game I see many "non-Catholics" playing on the team.

Good letter.
