[boatbums]

The fool says in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
there is no one who does good.
The Lord looks down from heaven
on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God. (Psalm 14:1,2)

[Natufian]

Given that, for many centuries, anyone who said that would experience a slow, painful and violent death, they would indeed have been a fool.
