I'm sure you'll get to the point where you explain how a mind certainly isn't sense knowledge, or how a brain certainly isn't a device? It would seem like those omissions could be important. Now..Plato...well, he couldn't have known much about minds or brains, so, for him, an admission of genuine ignorance. Howsabout us?
Meanwhile, the god that christians believe in was a man, that could be killed, and more broadly interacts all-the-time in the world. A god they believe is and can be and has been detected. That sounds idiotic to you and I, I suppose, but that is what they believe. You're probably giving the pope too much credit too...it would be far more likely for the pope to try and make some failed example of all the pointers on all the devices pointing to gods. That's actually his style, it plays well. In fact, he's said exactly this about a great many subjects, a great many times. The man is a vocal creationist, lol. He's confident that the current scientific account of the origins of the universe and the evolution of life are confirmation of gods existence, and he isn't as shy as you are to plainly say as much, as a christian, espousing a very common christian belief.
Here is my favorite profundity-

Quote:God is not the answer to an intellectual curiosity or to a commitment of the will, but an experience of love, called to become a story of love, The mystery of God is never exhausted; it is as immense as his love.Well shit, huh? The man in the funny hat has spoken directly to each of these items, and all in just one proclamation. So much for that bit of bullshit..and you had to drag poor old platos name through the mud to end up here. A man who we can safely assume would not have appreciated the christians claims of appropriation over his thoughts. The christians you appear to be angling for, and constantly insisting that atheists have misunderstood, are as thin on the ground as their silly god.
