Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language. - Ludwig Wittgenstein

In philosophy it is always good to put a question instead of an answer to a question. For an answer to the philosophical question may easily be unfair; disposing of it by means of another question is not.

People are religious to the extent that they believe themselves to be not so
much imperfect, as ill.
Any man who is half-way decent will think himself extremely imperfect,
but a religious man thinks himself wretched.

For remember that in general we don't use language according to strict rules — it hasn't been taught us by means of strict rules, either.
