Socrates meets Jesus

Darn. I'll try to make it more extreme. Oh, that's silly. I'll let it stand.

, what is the public oppinion on him? Why did he win election?

You also realise that you stray from the discussion topic?

 

lol i know sorry for the offtopic

 

It's ok for me, I have my doubts as to why they made it a sticky anyway, but I'm still curious if the public oppinion on him are as furious as yours, or are you a loner?

You infered from a fictional discussion between Socrates and the leader of one religion, that therefore philosophy is greater than all religions?

 

Theres too much overlap between religion and philosophy to really distinguish them from each other most of the time.

 

If you ask me, which of course you are not, I really believe that few people clearly understand that there is a HUGE difference between religion, philosophy, metaphysics and spiritualism. Certainly lines do get crossed but all four have very distinct and definable differences.

 

Amen to who ever the author it

blessid thee God

All i can say is... it doesn't take Socartes to reason with the Jesus written here.

 

Good post.
Really good post.
Mass emailing time.

 

I think this is the author.

 

In addition to the twelve main gods and the innumerable lesser deities, ancient Greeks worshiped a deity they called Agnostos Theos, that is: the Unknown god. In Athens, there was a temple specifically dedicated to that god and very often Athenians would swear "in the name of the Unknown god" (Νή τόν Άγνωστον Ne ton Agnoston).[1] Apollodorus, Philostratus and Pausanias wrote about the Unknown god as well.[2] The Unknown god was not so much a specific deity, but a placeholder, for whatever god or gods actually existed but whose name and nature were not revealed to the Athenians or the Hellenized world at large.

I think Jesus would win a logical argument against Socrates- I think it poorly represented Jesus- being all-knowing and stuff.

But it does bring out an interesting point: how much of Jesus is His life and how much of it is church doctrine?

I was also amazed on how little information there is on Satan:

Of course he would have. He is trained in reason and logic and rhetoric, which Jesus wasn't. If he were, he wouldn't have done what he did.

 

@jmpet --

And I think that even a first year philosophy student would be able to tear anything Jesus could say apart. To put it simply we just plain know more now than Jesus, or Socrates for that matter, could ever have dreamed possible. Hell, most grade school students know more these days than the greatest of scholars did two thousand years ago.
