Faith moves mountains, yes, but money.

Plato begins a barrage of criticism of the sophists which it appears, according to this view, puzzling reflections for the sole purpose of rebuking the attitude of the Sophists and aprehendizaje methodology.

Progress global science and technology have been able to provide logical and rational explanations for phenomena that, historically, the only convincing response came from divine origin.

But have we progressed as much as we think? How does this relate to the sophists? In today's world, the Catholic Church teaches and spread their beliefs on citizens acquiring their followers through their "faith" in God. Thus, increasing the number of its faithful, are expanded its influence.

As the Church holds that belief and be Catholic, you can lead you to God and get to the real "real Catholic knowledge, leading to the Sophists ignorant towards their s own interests.

Is the Catholic Church the true heir of Sophist rhetoric? Above all, the Church has presented clearly a strange formalism able to coax the faithful with strange dialectical forms, really, nobody understands.

From the point of view of Plato, the Sophists applied formalisms extravagant use of peculiar words, with an impact on the souls of his listeners, implanting this form of brooding.

How do they get so many followers? The sophists, as Plato said, "talkative nature", had the art of persuasion, leading to the transformation of the arguments most fragile, strong and consistent arguments.

Likewise, the Catholic Church manages to persuade the faithful by promising them a life after death where they can reach a desired perfect paradise, following the commandments of God, or a feared hell without This followed the instructions, thereby, cause fears about the ignorant and persistence in the Church.

But does this is as harmless as it seems? Unity is power. The Sophists, getting more influence over the city, even if they seem, his persuasive technique was perfectly correct. For this reason, came to be important in policy decisions.

Yes, but what is common between sophists and Catholics? Simple. The Church could be seen as too large a group of people, forcing others to reach fallacious reasoning, along with a category of persuasive techniques, otorgándoles a sus seguidores el miedo al pecado, y "lo que en realidad es el bien". ¿Qué emprendían los sofistas? Lo mismo. Ambas etapas de la historia utilizan unas técnicas persuasivas, que hacen llegar a razonamientos erróneos a sus seguidores, consiguiendo guiarlos por dónde éstos necesitan llegar, no por dónde de verdad quisieran llegar.

Los sofistas se llamaban a sí mismos los conductores del alma.

Más tarde, Platón afirmó que la persuasión no está al servicio de la verdad, sino de los intereses del que habla, por los que les cambió el seudónimo de conductores soul to soul grabbers.

Is it possible that beliefs are to the right? Are there people who do not realize what is happening in the world? Are there really people who take persuaded by others, and they believe the same thing?

Can we leave the cave, open our eyes to reality and see if the church succeeds in capturing his chains a second time? Can we be able to resist our "faith" and use reason to rise to perceptible reality?

Thanks to the people,

with their daily effort

to see reality as it is.
