(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

A CHRISTIAN¹ and a Heathen in His Blindness were disputing, when the
Christian, with that charming consideration which serves to
distinguish the truly pious² from the wolves that perish, exclaimed:

"If I could have my way, I'd blow up all your gods with dynamite³."

"And if I could have mine," retorted the Heathen in His Blindness,
bitterly malevolent⁴ but oleaginuously suave⁵, "I'd fan all yours out
of the universe."
