That's what you get, ' he said, nodding towards a group of the men engaged in some close-order military drill, 'when you give people Bibles and guns. You should give 'em either one or the other, but not both. It just messes up their brains.

About This Quote

This quote has been attributed to Mark Twain. To say that Bibles and guns are bad for people is a bit of an oversimplification. They are both great tools that can help people to become better people. However, there is some truth to the idea that putting them together makes people confused and unable to process their own thoughts.
