This book is interesting to read today when christianity is still in power. Because here you can read the god's own thinking written some three centuries before the same god decided raping a poor illiterate girl in Palestine and torturing her son would somehow make humanity any better.

I have ignored the ancient thinking seeing myself as unworthy of such pearls that so many wise men found great. I write men and not humans as I don't recall any woman being both in awe of the greek classics and considered famous.

But what rudimentary thinking! Hearing a 6 year old thinking like this I would be amazed. But a mature man? And considered so impressive? What stupidity is than hidden in the mind of those who hold Plato as impressive?

True, some two millennia ago, people were quite ignorant. But the examples are for such simple minds! There is no use for a doctor when you are well. But how do you know you are well? And how do you know that your symptoms will not go away all by themselves, the same way the common cold is cured with or without homeopathy? How about a doctor that can tell you how to live a saner life? Oops. This kind of doctor is the philosopher who has not the vaguest knowledge of how a body works. To be replaced later by a priest, imam or any other kind of raving shaman.

The writing still holds value for a historian. But for modern people I think not.g
