Another one liner without an explanation of the presumed end of someones reasoning.....is this still more logic?

1) The fact? You have not explained how you come to that conclusion. Unless it is just be randomly tossed as an empty word to deny when challenged.

2) no God? Which God do you make reference to? Which God do you say does not exist? I think there are many God which do not exists.

3) How does that connect with the "boy who pointed out that the emperer was naked?

Indeed, my time is best spent on debate, not this.

I know this isn't quite dead-on the topic, but perhaps it is pertinent that a pastor once pointed out to me that the "there is" is added into that scripture for the English translations. It is arguable that the actual scripture is "a fool says in his heart 'no, God'".

Thanks and apologies!
I lost track of what forum I was in.
So, point taken.

Perhaps what makes him a fool is his bad grammar.

I did not notice the bad grammar other than misplaced punctuation.

Jester seems to be arguing that the actual scripture in question says,
  • A fool says in his heart, "No, God."

Indeed, and please forgive my grammar. I rather like having it pointed out, though.

1. Have you checked up on this? You have to either acknowledge that your pastor is lying, or every bible - except mine - is lying.
2. Since I don't follow the heretical bible most people do, my bible doesn't say this.
3. So, I checked the Modern Xian's Bible. It doesn't say "fool". Quote below.
4. This is a Psalm: a song. Has anyone wondered what kind of nuts wrote this?

Here is the song. I think you can sing it to the tune of "Yankee Doodle Dandy" or "Sympathy for the Devil"
Psalm 14
A David Psalm

1 Bilious and bloated, they gas, "God is gone."
Their words are poison gas,
fouling the air; they poison
Rivers and skies;
thistles are their cash crop.

2 God sticks his head out of heaven.
He looks around.
He's looking for someone not stupid—
one man, even, God-expectant,
just one God-ready woman.

3 He comes up empty. A string
of zeros. Useless, unshepherded
Sheep, taking turns pretending
to be Shepherd.
The ninety and nine
follow their fellow.

4 Don't they know anything,
all these impostors?
Don't they know
they can't get away with this—
Treating people like a fast-food meal
over which they're too busy to pray?

5-6 Night is coming for them, and nightmares,
for God takes the side of victims.
Do you think you can mess
with the dreams of the poor?
You can't, for God
makes their dreams come true.

7 Is there anyone around to save Israel?
Yes. God is around; God turns life around.
Turned-around Jacob skips rope,
turned-around Israel sings laughter.

If your bible says something different, then you have the wrong bible.


I also might add that the entire Psalm calls EVERYONE foolish and stupid.

The KJV:
2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

3They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Let me translate: God looked down on the children of men and didn't see one person understand and seek God. Not one.



It's just a passage from a hideous book that ugly people with menial minds quote because they lack so much other power over their own lives. They hide behind the authority of their heretical book - that was made by fools (as proven by the Psalm) and lash out at people who don't want to believe in their evil Santa.
Imagine the people who believe ... and not ashamed to ignore, totally, all the patient findings of thinking minds through all the centuries since the Bible.... It is these ignorant people�who would force their feeble and childish beliefs on us...I.Asimov

This is shaping up to be a debate, as such, I’d rather take this out of the chat forum. I’ve opened a topic and posted my response to it.
