Return to History 8 Fifth Mountain Readings In the Beggining of the book, Elijah thinks that God is and evil being, that he is the one that burns down houses and cities and lets people die, but late in the book when the boy asks him about if God is evil, he replies, "God is all powerful,... He can do anything and nothing is forbidden to him, for if it were, there would exist someone more powerful than He, to provent his doing certain things. In that case, i should prefer to worship and revere the one more powerful than he." Elijah shows here that he believes religion is the wordhip of whoever is the strongest. by lorn mclaren Sorry it wasn't up before, I must of acidentaly not posted it.
