“I am a reader who had a question. It is up to the writer to make himself understood. Maybe a preface to explain what we were reading would have been helpful.
I’ve heard of John Q. Public, Joe Sixpack, John Bull, Percival Milquetoast and the like but I had never heard of Bobby Foole.
A search found the name “Bobby Foole” in newspaper archives from 1861 and 1925, but the archiver wanted a fee to view the text.
In any case, the writing fell flat for me, but I see now it wasn’t written for me anyway. Cheers!”___Higgmeister

Thank you for your interest in my piece.
Booby Foole is a fictional character that I invented in order to make the points I made in my piece up there.
Booby Foole represents the secular rationalists and so-called atheist activists that haunt Thread World on the Internet At Large and attack Christianity. I wrote the piece from an Evangelical perspective and as a traditional Bible believing Christian.
By the way there is no such thing as an atheist. All men KNOW there is a God that created them — and my piece makes THAT point too.
Romans 1:19-20 says “since what may be known about
God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to
them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible
qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have
been clearly seen, being understood from what has
been made, so that people are without excuse.”
Note the particulars in Romans 1:19-20
{1) There is information that can be known about God.
{2} This information is plain to men.
{3} God Himself has made it plain to them.
{4} It has been plain to them since the creation of the world.
{5} God’s eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen
{6} All this in understood from what God created.
{7} Therefore men are without excuse {for not believing in God.}
Romans 1:19-20 is the germ principle of the Teleological Argument
for the existence of God — the argument from the Intelligent Design
of the Human Person, the Earth-Sun-Moon-Stars, and the Universe.
Best Regards.

Interestingly many years ago, I worked a night shift with an atheist who was also gay. He was in the closet but had been outed to me by a mutual friend. I asked him what do you think will happen when you die, and he said nothing. He said the chemical process that caused thought and awareness just stops. So it's just a semantic difference to say there is no such thing as an atheist. Sure they have heard the Word of God but they reject it out of hand with no wonderment of the mystery of life at all. All of God's secrets and miracles are not even considered. It's a hopeless existence they choose to live. They refuse to seek the Majesty of God in Christ that the Holy Spirt shows us.
