Knowing Everyone But God
Story★★★Mark Twain, noted as a humorist, was also an atheist. On one tour of Europe he was feted by various nobility. Later he recounted to his family the names of all the great people who had honored him. Twain’s little daughter mused about this a while, then she observed: “Daddy, I guess pretty soon you will know everyone except God.”
The point
Mark Twain's young daughter observes that her atheist father, who boasted of meeting many important people, would soon "know everyone except God."
