Plato is the foundation for Christianity. Religion isn't the problem. Your mother is. This is just a cope to blame religion and not her. Beat her.

Plato is almost like a prophet instead of a philosopher, when he starts making up all that shit about another world and the demiurge and the perfect ideas and all that shit makes me wish I lived in those times to beat the shit out of him. Whenever he started talking about all that pseudo-religious bullshit I would throw a right hook right to his chin that would knock him the fuck out right there, good night Plato.

Tell her that the Church built a large part of its scholarship on Plato's and Aristotle's teachings. Aristotle was basically an unofficial saint. In Dante's Inferno, the Greek philosophers and poets are chilling out in Limbo. Then you should show her the School of Athens (pic related) which happens to occupy the Papal Palace.

Jesus and Jewish tribalism are the foundations for Christianity. Plato is how they polished the turd that was Christianity for a western audience. Based OP knows that even a polished turd is still just a turd though.

City Of God is so fucking boring and shitty. I even got the Great Course "books that matter" class on it in case I was missing some shit, and it's like nope, this guy is just a north African pseud who the fact that his shitty writing and specious arguments are being taken seriously by Romans is just another indication of decline and decadence in late Rome.

she doesn´t care, her logic is pretty simple, if the book isn´t the bible or whatever pop pentecostal garbage like pic related is, then it must be the work of the devil

What’s especially retarded about that is there’s nothing in The Republic against Christianity besides some references to the Greek Gods. Ok fact Christianity, especially the most vital elements such as the golden rule and ‘love thy neighbor’ if not directly taken from Platonic philosophy were certainly influenced by it to come to those conclusions, as Christianity itself was born out of the Hellenistic world and philosophy.

I feel for you anon, but don't blame religious people as a whole. I regularly have fruitful discussions regarding theology and philosophy including Nietzsche, Deleuze and Heidegger with my father who is a dean at a protestant seminary. How old are you that your mother can just take your stuff anyways? Maybe you should sit down and talk to her about how you feel about her behavior or something (I assume you are at least 18).
