Mark Twain Quotes


God's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn. - Mark Twain

None of us can be as great as God, but any of us can be as good. - Mark Twain

More than once I have been humiliated by my resemblance to God the father; He is always longing for the love of His children and trying to get it on the cheapest and laziest terms He can invent. - Mark Twain

Satan hasn't a single salaried helper; the Opposition employ a million.
- Mark Twain

We have to keep our God placated with prayers, and even then we are never sure of him -- how much higher and finer is the Indian's God......Our illogical God is all-powerful in name, but impotent in fact; the Great Spirit is not all-powerful, but does the very best he can for his injun and does it free of charge. - Mark Twain

To trust the God of the Bible is to trust an irascible, vindictive, fierce and ever fickle and changeful master; to trust the true God is to trust a Being who has uttered no promises, but whose beneficent, exact, and changeless ordering of the machinery of His colossal universe is proof that He is at least steadfast to His purposes; whose unwritten laws, so far as the affect man, being equal and impartial, show that he is just and fair; these things, taken together, suggest that if he shall ordain us to live hereafter, he will be steadfast, just and fair toward us. We shall not need to require anything more. - Mark Twain

If God is what people say there can be no one in the universe so unhappy as He; for He sees unceasingly myriads of His creatures suffering unspeakable miseries--and besides this foresees how they are going to suffer during the remainder of their lives. One might as well say, "As unhappy as God." -Mark Twain-

The Cult of Dusty and the Wisdom of Dusty Smith

Visit the Cult of Dusty


If I were to describe Dusty Smith I would have to say he's a blend of George Carlin, Mark Twain, Lewis Black and Chris Rock. He is profound and very funny. You can find Dusty Smith on You Tube ranting satirically about social issues and the scourge that is funny mentalist Christianity. 

Dusty went from recovering Christian to social critic and and master of explaining the obvious to people to blind to see and for the entertainment of those of us who are frustrated by Bible thumping numbskulls.

The video that first turned me on to the Cult of Dusty was Hitler Explains Salvation Through Faith.



Dusty hits the nail on the head with this gem. He being a former Christian understands the warped and unjust concept of salvation through faith. Salvation through faith is based on the following scripture. Watch the video and then join the Cult of Dusty.


“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life…He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16).

“For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame” (Hebrews 6:3-6).
