Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. So, the aethists do not only think there is no supreme being but also profess it, which makes them a complete fools just like the Bible says. 3 Likes |

OLAADEGBU:It wasn't talking about aetheists. I doubt if there were significant number of atheist in biblical days. David was talking about a ruling elite who very likely, professed God with their mouths but in their hearts had contemplated that either God does not exist, or if gods do exist, then they did not interfere to bring judgement on man if they act wickedly. This mindset emboldened these elites to act wickedly in their rulership, and even infect the people with such wicked behaviour, hence God could not find anyone who was a seeker. Despite that both big man and small man were acting corruptly, God took side with the small men, and accused the big men of being the one causing the problems. Its very much like Nigeria. The masses became corrupt because the elites devoured them in wickedness |

That statement is self explanatory, you need no interpreter. Whoever says there's no God, irrespective of who he is- professor, scholar, etc, or by whatever name they are called, is a BIG fool! |

For you as a person to even conceive the idea DAT There's no God qualifies u as a fool, ever wonder hw d world came into existence(some say big bang;if I hear...), the suspension of the celestial bodies, the water underground , life in it self, just not mention but a few glaring facts that proves not just the existence but the Supremacy and credibility of God Almighty |

Don't be a fool and think you can make it on your own. The fool says there is no God. But, he is not foolish because he is an atheist, but because he thinks he can get away with bad moral behavior. Psalm 14 goes on to say that all people are corrupt and there is not even one who does good. So, God says that we are all immoral fools. It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we can measure up to the moral perfection required by a Holy God. Unless you think you can lead a perfectly moral life,God has a solution for your problem. God's solution is to allow you to trade your moral imperfection for the moral perfection of Jesus Christ. The trade is accomplished through faith in Jesus' sacrifice as payment for your sins. The offer is really generous, but will cost you your self-righteousness. No, you can't remain an atheist either. As the psalmist says, you must "seek God." |

Atheism is Foolishness and Insanity. You talk to the Wall when you talk to an Atheist for the Wall can never lead you. It's like caging a DUNCE and a DON together or a DICTATOR and a DEMOCRAT together or IDI AMI DADA and WILSON CHURCHILL together. |

It means the bible preys on the egos of the gullible to keep them drunk on unwarranted confidence. Humans like to feel they are "right" because it strokes our self esteem and makes us feel secure. This ego stroking is just one of the many types of psychological & emotional manipulation religions utilize to gain and retain followers. Most people would rather feel good about themselves with little mental effort (ex. recieving praise for unquestioningly accepting unsubstantiated beliefs), than potentially have their egos harmed for more effort (ex. suffering insults or being ostracized for critically examining said beliefs). Example of the former case: "Haha, yes, everyone who does not believe in my god is a FOOL! It says it right here in this book that I've decided to believe despite no evidence indicating the validity of it's claims! But I don't care because this means I am better than everyone else! I am NOT a fool because I believe! Praise God!" And Christians fall for it hook, line, & sinker. 8 Likes |

OLAADEGBU:Ah yes, what a simplistic, satisfying explanation for the (shallow, biased, & likely ignorant) theist. Let's pretend that intellectual honesty, education and rational examination have nothing to do with it. No, people only denounce our superstition because they fear the consequences of not following the rules of said superstition. Too bad that explanation makes little sense for obvious reasons, nor does it coincide with what the data show. Which is that Christians and non-Christians practice the same amount of pre-marital sex on average, Christians actually get MORE divorces, and that non-Christians throughout the globe are more peaceful, less tribalistic, and commit less crimes on the whole. Widespread secularism has shown to be correlated with higher levels of human rights, better education, more equality for men and women, better healthcare, less homocide and rape, less government corruption. In other words, the only place in which "people become atheists so they can do more bad stuff", is in your own prejudiced and deluded heads. 3 Likes |

malvisguy212:Of course. When all else fails, just blame Satan, another imaginary entity. More illogical excuses for your illogical arguments. Even if this wasn't just a ridiculous cop-out born of serious religious brainwashing and lazy thinking, what you've basically just conceded is that Satan is more useful, powerful, and trustworthy than god. Satan has the power to make prosperous, safe, lawful nations while god can only sit back as millions who believe in him starve to death, suffer at the hands of corrupt governments, die from curable diseases, and kill eachother. 9 Likes |
