@op, The verse from your bible is the "claim"!!! You can prove whether it's true or not by interviewing people like Richard Branson(Virgin Atlantic), Linus Torvalds(Linux) and Neil de grasses Tyson!!! |

I think atheists are worst than fools, if the Bible qualified a thought as foolishness, how much more an open declaration that there's no God 4 Likes 1 Share |

OLAADEGBU:The Bible, by that statement means, anyone who has come to a conclusion in the mind, as a result of consideration(s) in the heart that there's no ''power authority and influence'' (i.e. God) then such, in this context, lack good judgement and have a wisdom problem, thus made a bad and foolish decision. So hence in this regard, the bible calling a spade a spade and without beating about the bush, says any who have concluded and decided in the heart that there's no ''power authority and influence'' (i.e. God) is not wise but has to be foolish to harbour doubts about the existence of a ''power authority and influence'' (i.e. God) Entertaining ludicrous thoughts, that there's no ''power authority and influence'' (i.e. God), is foolery. Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad An ignorant fool will put tomato in a fruit bowl or fruit salad OLAADEGBU:Atheism is foolish Whenever you make good decision, you are called wise whenever bad decisions, are made over any particular matter, it is termed foolish OLAADEGBU:This isnt covering all cases or instances because all atheists are fools, only in the context of concluding and deciding in the heart that there's no ''power authority and influence'' (i.e. God) 6 Likes 2 Shares |

At least athesits don't eat grass or drink rat poison, or dedicate 80% of their time worshipping an imaginary being or give allow themselves to get scammed by God of men or or accept they are not worthy, or worship a dead Jew or..If not doing all these will make me a fool, then i am gladly a fool. 10 Likes 6 Shares |

Toooo Much Fallacies in that empty rhetoric Christians spill from that verse in that book of theirs "The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that does good." (Psalms 14:1) Fallacies committed: ad hominem fallacy : An argument is discounted based on attacking the character of the person making the argument. ("He is wrong when he says there is no God, because he is a fool." ) strawman fallacy : Arguing against a position by creating a different, weaker, or irrelevant position and refuting that position instead of the original. ("There is no God" misrepresents "There isn't sufficient evidence that God exists." ) circular reasoning : The truth of the conclusion is assumed in order to justify the premises. ("The fool says there is no God, because anyone who says there is no God is a fool." ) begging the question : The argument creates a secondary proposition that is related to the primary proposition, which requires a similar argument that is missing. (The existence of God is assumed, while addressing propositions of whether God exists.) fallacy of inconsistency : The argument is inconsistent with other arguments within the same context. In the Christian context, Jesus commands against the invective in Psalms 14:1, warning that "whoever says 'You fool!' shall be liable to the hell of fire" in Matthew 5:22. special pleading : The inappropriate attribution of emotive functions to objects that do not have that capability. (Hearts are not capable of "knowing" or of feeling emotions.) redundancy : Psalm 53 is identical to Psalm 14. questionable premise : It is obviously not the case that all atheists do nothing but bad deeds. This premise is invalidated by a single example of an atheist doing a single charitable act. those are the different fallacies committed by just one verse lmao! Edit: source 11 Likes 5 Shares |

frank317:Everyone has made a fool of themselves at one time or the other Everyone makes bad judgements Everyone now or then takes wrong decisions but this is related to the existence of a ''power authority & influence'' (i.e. God) context only, It is related to accepting or admitting the existence of a ''power authority & influence'' (i.e. God) and that criterion has nothing to do with eating grass, drinking rat poison, getting scammed etcetera The only condition that must be fulfilled in the bible, in order to be certified and qualified to be called a fool, is to refuse to accept and/or admit the existence of the true and one only ''power authority & influence'' (i.e. God) 1 Like |

lazsnaira:This is why they are fools. Going by your perspective, "They want to see God face to face". Isn't it a fool who keeps demanding to see a Spirit face to face? This is utter foolishness. |

analice107:It is not covering all cases or instances of atheists' lives because atheists are smart, intelligent, clever, witty and wise in a range of other things They are wise in their own right BUT, note ''but'' is in capitals for purpose of emphasis, again, BUT, the atheists' Achilles heel, fault and shortcoming is the failure to accept and/or to admit the existence of the true and one only ''power authority & influence'' (i.e. God) The ''fool'' criterion has nothing to do with eating grass, drinking rat poison, getting scammed etcetera but centres on not meeting an expected standard of accepting & admitting the existence of the true and one only ''power authority & influence'' (i.e. God) On this premise and criterion alone (i.e. not covering all cases or instances of atheists' lives), is when atheists are deemed fools, out of lack of wisdom, to make a right, correct & good decision on acknowledging the existence of the true and one only ''power authority & influence'' (i.e. God) |

hopefulLandlord:It is calling a spade a spade and without beating about the bush Entertaining ludicrous thoughts, that, there's no ''power authority and influence'' (i.e. God), is flirting with foolery. Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad Putting tomato in a fruit bowl or fruit salad, will make you an ignorant fool Nothing personal, nothing to do with ad hominem, but just a plain fact and an unadulterated truth hopefulLandlord:Locked inside the echo chamber of a polarized mind hopefulLandlord:Consistent reasoning, thats why there is a corroborative chapter using the same type of thinking and witnessing another one hopefulLandlord:Living in denial without even knowing it hopefulLandlord:Matthew 5:22 is of a completely different context to Psalms 14:1? God is exempt from Matthew 5:22 anyway and when or if maybe, God is free and can certify, qualify or call atheists or anyone else for that matter fools hopefulLandlord:Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life (i.e. for everything you do flows from it) - Proverbs 4:23 The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks - Luke 6:45 Seeing Proverbs 4:23 and Luke 6:45 above, now you ought to less conceited and become wiser knowing that, it's out of the abundance of the heart first, then processed in the brain or mind, before the mouth speaks hopefulLandlord:Not redundacy but reinforcing. Psalm 53 is corroborating Psalm 14 and bearing witness to it hopefulLandlord:The premise and only criterion (i.e. not covering all cases or instances of atheists' lives or good deeds), to certify and qualify atheists as fools, is the failure to accept and/or to admit the existence of the true and one only ''power authority & influence'' (i.e. God) hopefulLandlord:Maybe in fantasy land, there will be different fallacies committed by just one verse. hopefulLandlord:The joke's on you hopefulLandlord:Edited with source after you got caught with hand in the cookie jar & lips smeared with incriminating jam hopefulLandlord:Already done - your wish was the command hopefulLandlord:Smugly complacent.
