And Now Your Moment of Reason

Today's nugget of wisdom comes to us from Mark Twain:

"Our Bible reveals to us the character of our god with minute and remorseless exactness... It is perhaps the most damnatory biography that exists in print anywhere. It makes Nero an angel of light and leading by contrast" -Reflections On Religion, 1906

...and more Samuel Clemens - "The War Prayer" - not published until after his death.
