How can atheists explain this?

Give me one good reason to read Plato over Harry Potter.

is this the most based way to spend your day?

If you could knock the FUCK out of any author (if they're dead they're brought back to life just to get knocked out) who would you pick?

>despite having all that free time still haven't done anything remotely important

Really makes you think

KJ Dover's Greek Homosexuality
Thomas K Hubbard's Homosexuality in Greece and Rome

>Agathon was a young poet who hosted the dinner party that was the setting for Plato’s Symposium, and Pausanias was his erastes (Plato, 178A-185C: 180-182). Their relationship was ideal in the sense that they differed in age by about 10 years, having started their relationship when Agathon was 18. However, Agathon and Pausanias stayed together far longer than the typical pederastic couple. It seems from the evidence available that neither man ever took a wife or had children. In fact, when Agathon emigrated to Macedonia sometime between 411 and 405 to continue his career as a dramatist, Pausanias went with him (Dover, II.C.4.: 84). While not completely different from the ideal pederastic relationship, Agathon and Pausanias prove that there were forms of same-sex desire and interaction in ancient Greece that went outside the ideal.

>There is documentation for the existence of same-sex couples who were of the same or similar ages when they were together. The ideal pederastic relationship was not the only type possible for the ancient Greeks.

>The first major example of a pederastic couple that was not ideal was Achilles, the legendary Greek hero, and Patroclus. These two were similar in age, and there is much dissension as to which of them was the erastes and which was the eromenos. In the Greek tragedy Myrmidons, Achilles is depicted as the lover and Patroclus is depicted as the beloved, though Phaedrus presents a good argument for the opposite in Plato’s Symposium, in reference to Achilles exacting revenge on Hector, the person who killed Patroclus:

>“Incidentally, Aeschylus’ view, that it was Achilles who was in love with Patroclus, is nonsense. Quite apart from the fact that he was more beautiful than Patroclus…and had not yet grown a beard, he was also, according to Homer, much younger. And he must have been younger because it is an undoubted fact that the gods…are most impressed and pleased, and grant the greatest rewards, when the younger man is loyal to his lover, than when the lover is loyal to him” (Plato, 178A-185C: 183).

>Another pederastic relationship featuring partners of similar ages was that of Alexander the Great and Hephaestion. The two were lifelong companions, and their relationship is reminiscent of that of Patroclus and Achilles, for whom Alexander held a great respect. Alexander and Hephaestion always traveled together and fought in battles together; Alexander even went so far as to refer to Hephaestion as an extension of himself during an encounter with the abandoned mother of the king Dareius ((Diodorus, 17.38)

Face it straightfags, pederasty was based and redpilled and all the great heroes and gods partook in it. Saying tin-foil shit like muh revisionism without providing any sources makes you look like an idiot. Being gay and having a young lover is objectively enlightened.

Everything he's made has been discredited so nope, literally wrong about everything

Moral is you're supposed to have blind faith in God even after he ruins your life

Yes because then that person's views become your own since you have no basis to refute it

Socrates didn't exist, he was a plot device for Plato, Xenophon, etc. used to push their philosophical narratives. Prove me wrong
