Following the Equator

CHAPTER XII
5/10

And we know when a man has his power from a god by the fact that he does things which he could not do, as a man, with the mere powers of a man.

Plainly, this is the Christian's way also, of knowing when a man is working by a god's power and not by his own.
You saw that there was a supernatural property in the hair of Samson; for you perceived that when his hair was gone he was as other men.

It is our way, as I have said.

There are many nations in the world, and each group of nations has its own gods, and will pay no worship to the gods of the others.

Each group believes its own gods to be strongest, and it will not exchange them except for gods that shall be proven to be their superiors in power.
