Challenge to atheists: I find your lack of faith disturbing!
#17
RE: Challenge to atheists: I find your lack of faith disturbing!
Not many people doubt that Plato existed... at least, someone writing under that name.
Plato wrote a lot about Socrates. A few people doubt that Socrates existed, tough... Still, many accept that the man existed... All that is claimed about him is that he was a great teacher, lived a good life, until he was forced to give it up. nothing too far fetched in this tale...
Then Plato went on to write about a place he called Atlantis... that is altogether different sort of account... only a hand full of loonies believes this place existed as is portrayed in the book....

I wonder why there's such a difference in the believability of these accounts...

Could it be that one is ordinary, but the other is somewhat extraordinary?
