Stargate: Measure of God
Gerak: You were not the one who was chosen. You did not witness the wonders I beheld.
Teal’c: Did they raise the dead? Heal the sick and wounded? Destroy their enemy with but a wave of their hand?
Gerak: The Goa’uld deceived us. The Ori’s powers are pure.
Teal’c: And what is the measure of a god, Gerak? Is it the scope of their power, or how they choose to wield that power? Would a god who is prepared to lead us on the path of enlightenment so contradict this divine benevolence by destroying all those who refuse to believe in him?
Gerak: Those who refuse to believe must die.
Teal’c: I understand how difficult this must be for you, Gerak. Nearing your final years, you so desperately long for the enlightenment we all seek. This is not the way to save yourself.
Gerak: I only wanted to avoid bloodshed.
Teal’c: Stay this course, and you will have no choice but to spill the blood of your brothers. And you may start with me. For if I have a choice between resistance or returning to a life of slavery, then I choose to die free.
