I know you won't support your assertions, because it's not "fun," but this sentence isn't true.
Quote:PS: IF you are seriously interested in learning the basics of reasoned discussion, there is no better place to start than Plato. Two thin volumes ; "Crito" and "The Republic" (Plato was not an admirer of democracy,) These two books are commonly found in first year studies of philosophy at Universities.
Plato's Form of the Good is nearly identical to the Christian God described by many theologians. To recommend Plato here is to contradict yourself.
Jowett's translation of the Republic is 216 pages. That's "thin" compared to Proust, I guess. I suspect you haven't read it.
If platos form of the good exists, then platos form of the good exists. Doesn't have a thing to do with gods, let alone the bloodgod christers worship.
