But who knew? Perhaps they were not even interested in things of this sort. Too, assuming them to be interested, I wondered if there were any independent way of finding out what might be the will of the priest-kings, short, that is, of waiting and finding out how things, in fact, came out. It was difficult to know, you see, how such a claim, that things proceeded in accordance with the will of the priest-kings, might be evaluated. To be sure, perhaps a priest-king might show up and say, "No, that is not what I wanted, at all". But how would you know it was a priest-king? How would it establish its identity? Perhaps it could uproot trees, or kill people, or something. But, could priest-kings do such things? And, if so, was it only priest-kings who could do them? I expected that, here and there on this world, and doubtless on others, similar ceremonies might take place. The women of city A, for example, might be led to believe that it was the will of the priest-kings that they become the slaves of the men of city B, and the women of city B might be led to believe that it was the will of the priest-kings that they become the slaves of the men of city A. - (Witness of Gor, Chapter )
