There's no doubt God loves even the most evil person because they are created in His image, but He does not love them in the same way as He loves those who are in Christ. Those who are outside of God's saving grace really only experience his general grace (the rain falls on the just and unjust alike, and he lets them live and breath and is longsuffering toward them). Clearly the bible teaches they are "children of wrath," and is very unambiguous about it. The natural man cannot understand the things of the spirt as they are foolishness to him (Aristotle's plight).
This is what makes Socrates something profound. He knew that he didn't know. Plus, he looked for a way to know. This is not intellectual dishonesty. Perhaps he was a bit hubristic about it, and poked fun at those who pretended to know when they didn't.
