Entry is not equivalent to possession.

If I were to believe in a god l would believe in gods. I think monotheism is the really ghastly thing. That is the absolutely staggering to me misapprehension.
Stephen Fry
Image
Philosophy is an odd thing... There is no particular Socratic or Dimechian or Kantian way to live your life. They don't offer ethical codes and standards by which to live your life.

I suppose that there is no point wasting time being lazy, though of course indolence in a divine way, actually has its advantages.
