Of course, Mark Twain said it all even if he did so through the imaginary lips of Huckleberry Finn!''

Hope these help...

"Then Miss Watson she took me in the closet and prayed, but nothing come of it. She told me to pray every day, and whatever I asked for I would get it. But it warn't so. I tried it. Once I got a fish- line, but no hooks. It warn't any good to me without hooks. I tried for the hooks three or four times, but somehow I couldn't make it make it work. By-and-by, one day, I asked Miss Watson to try for me, but she said I was a fool."

"...I about made up my mind to pray; and see if I couldn't try to quit being the kind of a boy I was, and be better. So I kneeled down. But the words wouldn't come. Why wouldn't they? It warn't no use to try and hide it from Him. Nor from me, neither. I knowed very well why they wouldn't come. It was because my heart warn't right; it was because I warn't square; it was because I was playing double. I was letting on to give up sin, but away inside of me I was holding on to the biggest one of all. I was trying to make my I was trying to make my mouth say I would do the right thing and the clean thing, and go and write to that ******'s owner and tell where he was; but deep down in me I knowed it was a lie—and He knowed it. You can't pray a lie—I found that out."

"Pray for me! I reckoned if she knowed me she'd take a job that was more nearer her size."

To give you an idea of where Samuel Clemens was coming from when it comes to religion, "The cat's tail is only an encumbrance to her, yet she thinks it is the most precious thing she's got. Just so with man and his religion." is from Mark Twain's Views of Religion, by Caroline Thomas Harnsberger. "By and by they fetched the ******* in and had prayers" "After supper she got out her book and learned me about Moses and the Bulrushers, and I was in a sweat to find out all about him; but by and by she let it out that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then I didn't care no more about him, because I don't take no stock in dead people" About the wisdom of Solomon: "De 'spute warn't 'bout a half a chile, de 'spute was 'bout a whole chile; en 'de man dat think he kin settle a 'spute 'bout a whole chile wid a half a chile, doan' know enough to come in out'n de rain"
