Quote by Plato

Atheism is a disease of the soul, before it becomes an error of the understanding

Atheism is a disease of the soul, before it becomes an error

Summary

This quote suggests that atheism is not simply a matter of lacking belief in a higher power, but rather a deeper affliction of the soul. It conveys the idea that disbelief in God or higher powers may originate from an emotional or spiritual deficiency rather than a logical or rational mistake. In other words, it implies that atheism is a symptom of a deeper underlying issue within an individual's inner being before it manifests as a cognitive error in their understanding of the world.

I got beat real hard and heavy in the Olympic Games in 1968 by a guy who swam an incredible race one time in his whole life, but he did it right at the right time. I'd like to be that guy now. Maybe that's what I'm going to have to pull out of my hat to make the Olympic team.
