SS: And by religious, he was not talking about Paula White & Kenneth Copeland. They are just symptoms of the disease.
It’s so frustrating that these pithy quotes are given without references and are apparently being reposted by people who never read them in context 🙁
I mean, kinda makes sense that he would say so at that time. A large portion of the people who migrated to America from Great Britain was to avoid persecution for their ‘religious’/moral beliefs.
Adams had very little faith in humanity and regularly mused if not out right argued the US should want for a Monarchy due to political deadlocks. He was rather authoritarian. Even his Presidency was filled with many largely questionable acts to that fact. I don’t think this quote you are using means what you think it does. He’s arguing for despotism in a sense. If you think centralized leadership is always despotism like I do. Adams did not.
