Don't Be a Fool

"The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God'..."
Psalm 14:1
Buon giorno. Today is April 1. I have been having a good time saying that today is the national holiday for atheists because God calls atheists, "Fools". But what was going to be a simple thing suddenly became more complex as I thought further. Not only is this April Fool's Day, it is also called Holy Thursday; we're in the final days before Easter.


You see, a "fool" in Biblical usage is not just someone being, well, stupid. Sure, a fool says that there is no God, but it's more than that. A fool is also lacking in moral fiber. The rest of this verse reads, "... They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good." Long ago, I learned from a Creationist, "If there's no Creator, you can do what you please. But if there is a Creator, he makes the rules and we'd better find out what he has to say." And I put that to the arrogant atheists (the ones that want to destroy the faith of others), they do not want to believe, so they can have an excuse for their actions.

In a recent discussion while posting comments after an article, an evolutionist refused to examine any evidence for Intelligent Design. He simply wrote it off in a very unscientific manner. In fact, he steered the discussion away from the main points of the article so that he could justify atheistic evolutionism.
But this is not just about atheists and the foolishness of denying the existence of God so they can justify their own immorality. Guess what, Bubbles? It's about you! And me!

I'm reaching back into ancient history in my mind, a sermon that I heard. The essence of it is that, even though we believe in God, that Jesus died on the cross and rose on the third day — that's all well and good. How are we living? Believe anything you want to, but if you really believe, are you "living like the devil"? Are you living as if there is no God?

Another preacher said, "Believing is an action word". Right! If you really believe something, your speech and actions are going to reflect how deeply your belief runs. Those of us who "believe in God" should not be fools ourselves, saying "There is no God" within our own hearts. Our lives should show otherwise.

Bravado Incarnate

Warning: If you click the links, you will be subjected to strong profanity. Buon giorno. Why is it that atheists cry, "Victory is mine!" like Stewie Griffin, even when they humiliate themselves? Some in my acquaintance could slam their hand in a car door and still claim that they won a debate with the car. One of the most obstreperous atheists (who does not believe in free speech link disabled ) that I have ever encountered took a challenge (for some reason, I get all the credit, but others challenged him as well) to call Matt Slick's radio show, Faith and Reason (now renamed to " Matt Slick Live ". He was angry that the "kiddie pool" at the "Please Convince Me" Weblog was not challenging enough. Surprisingly, he did not scream or use profanity, something that I fully expected him to do. The show was entertaining and interesting, to say the least. Unfortunately, he was typical of Internet atheists: Rude Arrogant Prideful

Where Does It Stop?

I was going to give these topics a rest, but something came up. On a previous post, Zach made a comment, and I am excerpting it here. His first sentence is an answer to a question I had asked him. Hope you're not embarrassed, but I want to give you a more complete response than the comments section would allow: My lack of belief in the supernatural is pretty much complete - I have never seen any reason to attribute a supernatural cause to phenomena. I suppose I rule out supernatural explanations because once you let one in, where do you stop? I look at an event I do not understand and go immediately to natural causes. Even if I can't figure it out, I still would assume it had a natural explanation. I'm worried that if someone started attributing causes to supernatural events, they would skip over the whole 'natural cause' thing and go straight for the supernatural, because technically everything is potentially explainable by an omnipotent being, no?

The Amazing Super Powers of the Mighty Atheist™

Image
by Cowboy Bob Sorensen Years ago, I wrote "atheist" on Twitter, and one cautioned me about using that word because I risked "calling down the thunder". We know that they can be ornery cusses even on their good days, but I was unaware of the intellectual prowess and wisdom of The Mighty Atheist™, dwarfing that of a mere theist. What I had yet to learn, however, is that they also have super powers that are even magical at times. Now I know better. Christians and creationists, I hope you heed this warning! Graphic modified from  Clker clipart As with other super powers, those of The Mighty Atheist™ are difficult to categorize. Not all atheists and evolutionists have the same powers to the same degree, and there is no special school for gifted atheists under a professor so they can develop their abilities. Like logical fallacies, powers often blend and overlap. Let's saddle up and ride over yonder to Deception Pass where the atheists, atheopaths, anti-crea
