Đang xem: Religion was invented when the first con man
Proper attribution requires some reasonable evidence to back the claim. On the other hand, it's not justifiable to attribute any old phrase to a person on the off chance they happened to say it. So what about the above quotation that often accompanies a picture of a seated Twain?Īs we've previously emphasized, it's not practical to absolutely prove that a given person didn't say a quotation attributed to them. Quite a few quotations disparaging religion came from Twain, though he was apparently a Presbyterian. Mark Twain was the pen name of American author Samuel Clemens (1835-1910). Attributed to Mark Twain on Facebook and elsewhere: “Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool.”
