About This Quote

The Bible is a book that has done incredible harm to the world. It has inspired religious wars, it has led to the enslavement of millions of people, it has led to the torture of countless others, and it has caused untold suffering to countless more. However, each time I read this quote from Mark Twain, I am reminded that there are still plenty of other books that can inspire even more harm. They are written by people who do not take their own lives into their own hands, who cannot see the pain they cause, and who will never be able to understand how deeply they have hurt millions of people.
