If we live by this statement, that means we are immortal. Because we see injustice and similar vices everyday and we are still alive even though that are bad for us. Tyrants wouldn't survive so long otherwise. Which means that our soul will live on even after our physical bodies have died. This means that Socrates believed in a god. So once more I am asking how is it possible for Socrates to be tried for Atheism even though he believed in god? Socrates justice is similar to ours in the respect that he believes that we will go to heaven or hell. But it differs in the fact that he believes that we will come back as an animal. Once again I present an argument that Socrates was unjustly charged with atheism.
I agree. He made references to gods all the time, so there was no way for him to be accused of atheism. I can understand why the people would want to get rid of him, though, because no one likes being told they're not as smart as they think they are.
