A fool is an adult with the reading comprehension skills of a 10 year old vehemently trying to enforce upon others a single, rigid personal preference from the most intricately designed and beautiful literary work ever created (i.e the Bible).

That's a pretty boastful statement for a newbie that's been here for less than a month.

You don't seem to understand the meaning of truth. I'm not enforcing anything on you. I simply quoted from the bible and you feel threatened by that.

It seems like your issues are with God. He's the one that you're arguing against.

P.S.:

Actually you've been on FR for slightly less than TWO months. My mistake, but same principle.

That was actually my personal definition of a fool, not a personal attack on you... relax.

But since you brought up the subject:

I think the whole concept of self-assurance is hilarious!!!! I'm glad there are fools (aka serious people who are intent on wasting both sunny and rainy days). The violent fools are another story.

I have plenty of doubts about the security of my own knowledge and wisdom. Heck if I were about to step on a nail I would surely want someone to shout out: "Hey Gava, watch out for that nail!!!!"

(hint: the best defensive against non-argumentative statements is light-hearted humor)

I have no quams with God but humanity is very stupid and overly critical of its neighbors. It's no surprise that Christ was displeased with the actions of some of his own followers. I bet that all he wanted to do was show people how to live life to the fullest and only be serious enough to show others how to do the same.

If the word of god isn't intended to compel us to live a joyous, meaningful life than what could it possibly be about?
