    That suggests that all atheists are evil, if I'm reading it correctly... Wow, just wow...

    It's one of many warnings in the bible against intelligent people. Like in 1 Corinthans 3:

    >For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”

    I would be wary of any book that tells you that smart people are fools.

    No sillier than many other parts of the book. And a lot less evil than many parts.

    It isn't one of the parts where the God, Yahweh, commanded some tribe to be wiped out or babies to be killed or virgin women to be saved as sex slaves. So, that part is mostly harmless, by comparison.

    It shows that people were wise enough to question beliefs as far back as 600 BCE.

    Edit:

    It's not like nearly every other religion said the same thing at one point or another, or that nearly every other religion thinks that they are they only ones to be doubted and that somehow that others disbelieve their claims makes their claims more true...

    I'm so glad to have loving and caring people around me my whole life. And guess what. Their atheist! I don't care about religious beliefs. Atheists can be good people just like everyone else. They are not corrupt!

    I think the people of that time didn't know quantum physics, Or what an atom was, or why the sky was blue. I think they were helpless people looking for an understanding of life.

    That god makes fools, then punishes them for being foolish.

    He's stupid, or sick.

    The people who use it the most - they would know all about being fools.

  • I find it amusing, and an honor, to be called a fool, by a fool.
