simply speaking..your joining two concepts...oh ancient/one..why should they revere pholosphisers...maybe these too should be placed in with love/and the other belief systems
<<You boast..that you are free from superstition:>>>no your followers do
<<but it is easy to be so..when one has deprived the gods of all their power.>>from the labours of others?
<<How..superstitious-ness..had denied the existence of the gods?..I do not think Protagoras..could have been so either,..who would neither assert..nor deny their existence.>>deney love..or deney hate..both are denial...not evidence
<<The teachings/philosophers..do not merely free us from superstition,..which is a senseless fear of the gods,..but also destroy religion itself,..with all reverence and worship>>>thats you philosophy...yet your delusioned pillowsophecy...is their faith
<<Then/those who have argued..that all our beliefs..about..the gods have been fabricated..by wise men for reasons of state,..so that men whom reason could not persuade..to be good citizens might be persuaded by religion.>>>yes much better off with their heads?
<<Have not these..also totally destroyed the foundations of belief?>>have not the fools...that eli-vate your words...into god like infalible...wisdoms..constructed their belief's...of your words..upon decieving meanings..hidden in fancy language's
<<Chios,..who ascribed divinity to everything..which benefits mankind:..what room did he leave..for religion?>>>why jump from general blief into religiously held faith..
..stick with belief...for this..is your faith...religion is a refuge of philosphical concepts...evilvating..the being/the messenger/the message..abouve its cause...just as faith..in philosphisers...is divergent from the arte of philosdophising
<<brave and famous..and powerful..men..have been deified..after death and that these are the gods..whom we have now become accustomed to worship and reverence and to whom we pray.>>>ah like you lot[or darwins/or dorkins...or the prophets...all faith in imitators
<<Are not such men..devoid of all religious feeling?>>you make wild jumps..and insane assertions...dear cissy...now you dare...move a noun into an adjective...
old man...why dont they let you sleep..remove your godheaded-ness..away from them..age has wearied..even the intent of your words...now fools..quote them out of context...thinking their majesty...to disproove gods supreem majesty
