Been musing over the line from Spam LS (Psalms) the fool says in his heart that there is no god. It makes me wonder who the fool actually is, here. Because isn't it the height of foolishness to believe in something that has no basis of existence, and continue to believe in its existence in the hope that when you die you will go to the good place and not the bad place.
Looking on Wiki about the line it seems that the fool is someone who disagrees with god, and therefore can do no right. Maybe so, but I think it a trifle foolish that accepting at ones word of a good afterlife based on one mans sacrifice alone. No matter what you have done in life, blameless or evil. Accept Jesus and you're in, regardless of whether you're an axe murderer or paragon of virtue.
When it comes to religion I would rather be a fool than a sheep.
