"There is one notable thing about our Christianity: bad,
bloody, merciless, money-grabbing and predatory as it is - in our
country particularly, and in all other Christian countries in a somewhat
modified degree - it is still a hundred times better than the
Christianity of the Bible, with its prodigious crime- the invention of
Hell. Measured by our Christianity of to-day, bad as it is, hypocritical
as it is, empty and hollow as it is, neither the Deity nor His Son is a
Christian, nor qualified for that moderately high place. Ours is a
terrible religion. The fleets of the world could swim in spacious
comfort in the innocent blood it has spilt."
"Reflections on Religion"
Mark Twain
