What was the location of a famous oracle consulted by the Greeks?
There were lots of oracles, but the most famous was at Delphi, where in a cave among the rocks the Pythoness (a sort of medium) would go into a trance and make prophecies. It's possible that fumes from volcanic vents (most of Greece is an earthquake zone) assisted the process. The delphic oracle was famous for prophecies that could be taken either way - as in, 'if you go to war, you will destroy a great empire' - which might, of course, turn out to be your own.

How does religion affect today's life?
Pretty much the same way it has always affected life. A persons religion or theology affects their decisions and choices.Even a man who claims no belief in God has his own theology. In this case he is his own god making his own choices, while others look to a certain god for wisdom and guidance. For some reason, all mankind is born with an inner desire to seek God. Some find Him, some find their own god, and others find that they are enough in life for themselves.But only one of these options offers soul security.
What was passed down to Christianity from Judaism?
Christianity inherited the Old Testament Scriptures (aka 'the Oracles of God in New Testament) from Judaism, with all that this involves, such as belief in God as the creator, His essential unity. Christians, while holding all these scriptures as their own believe they are fulfilled in Jesus Christ and so some have lost their relevance, particularly the ceremonial laws in Leviticus.
What did the Oracle of Delphi state about Socrates?
Oracle of Delphi story: Chaerophon visits the Oracle of Delphi and asks if anyone in Athens is wiser than Socrates. The Oracle answered that no one is wiser than Socrates. Socrates made it his mission in life to test and understand the Oracle's pronouncement. He seeks out people who have a reputation for wisdom in various regards and tests their claims to knowledge through questioning. He discovers a good deal of vain ignorance and false clams to knowledge, but no one with genuine wisdom. Ultimately, Socrates concludes that he is wisest; but not because he possesses special knowledge not had by others. Rather he finds that he is wisest because he recognizes his own lack of knowledge while others think they know, but do not. This is not a skeptical conclusion, however. Socrates does not deny that knowledge is to be had. While he does not claim to have knowledge himself, he shows us how to obtain knowledge by demonstrating a method of testing claims to knowledge.
