In the end, to a preacher’s ultimate sorrow, the choice of an entity is a personal one, and the alignment to an entity is in accord with one’s internal code of principals. A missionary might coerce and trick would-be disciples, but no rational being can truly follow the determined orders of any entity if those orders run contrary to their own tenets.
The entities of the world are many and varied, or they are the many varied names and identities tagged onto the same entity. I know not,and care not, which.
