This article focuses on the differences in the perception of the Christian faith and its main dogmas included in the Bible, referring to the controversial concept of religiosity and commentaries on biblical texts included in Letters from the Earth by Mark Twain. The author of this work, using Satan’s voice, presents his own malicious – but also humorous – view of God-Creator, Satan and man created in God’s image. Twain reveals the contradictions connected with God’s law confronting it with the biblical law of nature, and points out the paradoxes connected with eternal life in paradise. He presents the creation of the world and man as a kind of scientific experiment, or even “a slide show” to heavenly creatures, where the Creator turns out to be a passive observer. The article discusses two points of view regarding the perception of the Bible and faith: Christian and that presented by Twain.
