I believe that Twain was referring to the fact that the most creative and learned amongst us are the most likely to be free thinking atheist and therefor doomed to Hell by the Christians. He obviously felt that they would make much better company than those that toed the company line in order to attain a place in Heaven.

People won't care about anyone or anything accept their agony in the lake of fire( Hell didn't get "PC kindness" in the last 40 years):
Luke 16:19-31
I hope Mark Twain chose Jesus over hell.
no parties,no company of the "wild and crazy" fun people,no more witty and crude jokes to laugh at,etc.
