Hey everyone, I’ve been wrestling with some thoughts about Mark Twain lately.
I used to admire his wit, but I recently discovered his critical stance on Christianity, which caught me off guard. It’s made me reflect on Proverbs 18:17: “The first to present his case seems right, till another comes forward and questions him.”
While Twain’s critiques of organized religion might have some merit, I’m unsure how to reconcile them with his apparent rejection of Christ’s divinity. As believers, how do we engage with influential figures who challenge our faith?
