Mark Twain's Secret Memories to be Unveiled


July 7, 2010 on PBS NewsHour
Mark Twain's autobiography is set to be published for the first time, 100 years after the famous author and humorist's death.
Twain on Christianity:
"There is one notable thing about our Christianity: bad, bloody, merciless, money-grabbing, and predatory. The invention of hell measured by our Christianity of today, 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 spilled."
