Socrates thought and so do I that the wisest theory about the gods is no theory at all.

Summary

This quote suggests that both Socrates and the speaker believe that the best way to approach the concept of the gods is by recognizing the limitations of human understanding. Rather than formulating theories or explanations about the gods, they argue that true wisdom lies in accepting that the nature of gods may be beyond our comprehension. By acknowledging our ignorance, we can avoid the pitfalls of presumptuous theorizing and possess a more humble and open-minded perspective towards divine matters.
