Mark TWAIN. Thoughts on religion (№ 390296)

Is there a father who would want to torture your baby with stomach cramps undeserved, unmerited anguish of teething, and then the mumps, measles, scarlet fever and thousands of other torture, invented for innocent little creatures? And then, from youth to the grave, would torment him countless desyatitysyachnye penalties for any violation of the law, both intentional and accidental? With a fine sarcasm we ennoble God with the title of father - and yet we know perfectly well that, getting us into the hands of the father in his spirit, we would be immediately hanged him.
