3. Is this it?
Didn't hear the piece but this is from twainquotes.com:

So much blood has been shed by the Church because of an omission from the Gospel: "Ye shall be indifferent as to what your neighbor's religion is." Not merely tolerant of it, but indifferent to it. Divinity is claimed for many religions; but no religion is great enough or divine enough to add that new law to its code.
- Mark Twain

2. It's Fascist Friday? Where's Brian Lamb?
Maybe in church? Or in Rome?

Or maybe he's hanging with his AEI and Heritage Foundation buddies at DeLay's coven going on that CSPAN is covering.

5. My favorite Mark Twain quote on Christendom (fits Bu$hco to a T)
I bring you the stately matron named Christendom, returning bedraggled, besmirched and dishonored from pirate-raids in Kiao- Chou, Manchuria, South Africa and the Philippines, with her soul full of meanness, her pocket full of boodle and her mouth full of pious hypocrisies. Give her the soap and a towel, but hide the looking-glass.

6. Mark Twain was at his finest when he penned "The War Prayer"
If you've never heard it, google and read. It's amazing.
