/lit/ - Literature

What should I read after Euthyphro, Apology, Critio, and Phaedo? I already read half of the Republic before, but should I return to it now or there are more of Plato's essentials I should go through first?

As a preface: I've recently read Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling and The Sickness Unto Death, as well as some bits and pieces of Aristotle, Plato, Aquinas and Plotinus - so I'm currently very fascinated by Christianity and monotheism.

My question is how does one commit to a specific faith over any other? I find it far easier, to take the neoplatonist tradition of something (i.e the Logos) being the cause, or continual sustenance of our universe. I find it harder to take that this Logos is conscious and benevolent like the God of the bible is. What I find hardest of all is committing to a specific faith like Christianity with all its scripture and laws.

It seems to me that being able to look up the historical development of Judaism and by extension Christianity dispels them as connecting to a real metaphysical truth. Aren't they just the flowing together of disparate gods and spirits that eventually coalesced into one monotheistic religion?

My questions to the christfags of /lit/:

Why Christianity over any other faith in the world?

Do you think the bible a nuanced metaphorical and metaphysical doctrine of the soul, or a once literally interpreted cosmogony piece about making the world in 6 days only a few thousand years ago?

Genuine curiosity, no larping, looking for spirituality.
