A Fool's Fool


On 1st April 2013, a churchgoer posted this on his facebook. I happened to stumble upon it.

Today is 1st of April.
The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity; there is none who does good.
(Psalm 14:1; Psalm 53:1)
The fool. The Atheist is the fool preeminently, and a fool universally. Today is their day.

May we pray that today is the last day for them to be branded as fools as we lift them up to Our Lord and pray that their spiritual eyes & hearts will be opened to see & receive the truth of Jesus' loving sacrifice for them on the cross and henceforth be called born-again Christians and be fools no more! Amen.”

This is my brief reply.

“Amen, generally. But let me muse with you brother.

I think there are 3 kinds of fools in this world. First, a fool who knows he's a fool but doesn't want to change. Second, a fool who knows he's a fool and wants to change but doesn't know how to change. Third, a fool who doesn't know and so doesn't know he needs to change.

Then, in the first category, there are the atheist fool and the christian fool, for whom this day is fittingly dedicated to.

While the atheist fool requires no further elaboration, the christian fool is a fool who thinks he is no fool and doesn't need to change like the pharisees (a fourth kind?).

So, the recurring theme that runs thru all the different categories above is this: "He is a fool if he fools himself to say that he's no fool." For such is a fool's fool.

In the end, God help us all. And let us pray for each other who once were fools for ourselves and now are triumphantly fools for Christ. Cheerz.”
