Plato for sure... I was just re-reading the Republic recently and admiring all over again how very well he picked an issue apart by answering every question with another question until getting to the root of it. If only we all did that!

I just finished rereading The Republic last week. Makes more sense then the bible. Plato for me.

The Holy Bible

Neither... I would let each individual choose which to implement their life on. To be honest, the world confromed to the Bible is scary. But each individual must be free to choose for themselves. Period, end of discussion. Its called freedom of religion.

It depends which part.
Remember the Bible talks about for the future that their will be world peace.
Thats not so bad

The Republic is OK, but it has serious shortcomings, e.g.,
You can't stone people to death,
There are no provisions for drowning all of humanity,
You can't kill off the first-born of your enemies,
No mandates to wipe out neighboring tribes
No eternal suffering for dissidents
In short, it seems to be missing a loving god.

the world has already been shaped and influenced by both. And yet it is still in a state of constant chaos

Depends on which bible you speak. I would pick the Jewish Bible.
