Apostle John
“Go ahead, look up Revelation 6”
Nope I said ‘Socrates declared that…’, meaning that he could speak and didn’t use sign language. Why would his peers make certain things up. It would render everything about Socrates as unreliable and he would have been lost in history. You even stated “he's just a normal human who had a few smart things to say.” Surely now you can see how silly and desperate you get when you try to debate.You should fact check a bit more. It will help you in all kinds of area's.
Make sure you use appropriate sources though.
Having said that.... so when you claimed that "socrates claimed that..." you didn't know if that was factual?
Which is a correct reply to your post.
YOU said that "socrates claimed that...."
This is false. Instead, what is correct is: "PLATO claimed that socrates claimed that...."
We don't have any claims by Socrates himself.
You might consider that an irrelevant detail, but I surely don't.
There's a huge difference.
Meanwhile, still no reply to the actual point raised in the post you originally replied to.
Let me add another example next to Julius Ceasar: George W. Bush.
He's on record as having said that God told him to invade Iraq.
I accept Bush exists.
I accept he was the president of the US in 2003
I accept he ordered the invasion of Iraq at that time.
Does that mean that I also have to accept his claim that god told him to do it?
Answer: off course not.
You are cynical that people do not hear from the spirit realms obviously having no personal experience, it doesn’t mean that others don’t hear spirits. Atheists believe in a lot of irrational nonsense such as mammals, through evolution, can change into different species even though it hasn’t been seen or proven beyond doubt.
