And this is the point of Gadamer, Derrida and even Heiddeger, to some extent about how our culture and senses provide useful information but are not fool proof.

To get back to the topic,
For those of you interested in the humanist/theist movement, I have found these discussions highly informative. (They are LONG videos, but a recommended reading list is provided.) http://beyondbelief2006.org/About/ The discussion is on theism and science and whether the two can coexist. They were kind enough to allow a couple of theists speak. I personally like to experience the thoughts of thinkers, regardless of whether I agree with their points.

To attribute much to what Socrates believed is folly, because he didn't leave a written body of work.

Not semantics. Definitions. Semantics is twisting the definition to make it say what you want it to say.

Plato never states that these are Socrates' teachings. Plato espouses his teachings through his teacher. My point was actually critical of Seattle for him to differentiate between Plato's beliefs and those of Socrates. We do NOT know or have any reason to believe Socrates differed with Plato. Unlike Plato, the writers of the Gospels purport to espouse Christ's teachings. That is a majore distinction.
