Matthew 5:23

A couple atheists have said that I shouldn’t be using the term “Fool” in reference to atheists. They refer to the above verse as proof of what they say. Atheists have as much chance of interpreting this verse correctly as they do any verse including the one about judging; which by they way to use to judge people who they deem to be judging others.

Anyhow, in Psalm 14:1 God inspires the Psalmist to describe as Fools, those who look at the universe and declare that it all came about by chance, no Creator, just chance, a random act of nothing since nothing is exactly what existed prior to the singularity.

Since God Himself has described atheists as fools, it’s obvious that Matthew 5:23 is saying, Don’t call someone a fool who is NOT a fool. For what could be lower than being told you have as much wisdom as an atheist; someone who has exchanged h/her ETERNAL heritage for 70 or 80 years of arrogant grandstanding here on earth?
