HAPPY NATIONAL ATHEIST'S DAY

In honor of our nation's leadership, and apparently the vast majority of voters, I want to write about our national holiday celebrated every year on this day:  National Atheist's Day.  The Bible pulls no punches when it says, but it offers a solution:
 
"The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that does good " (Ps. 14:1; 53:1).
 
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction" (Pr. 1:7).
 
"The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkens unto counsel is wise"
(Pr. 12:15).
 
"Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favor" (Pr. 14:9).
 
"A wise man fears, and departs from evil: but the fool rages, and is confident" (Pr. 14:16).
 
"Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words" (Pr. 23:9).
 
"As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly" (Pr. 26:11).
 
"He that trusts in his own heart is a fool: but whosoever walks wisely, he shall be delivered"
(Pr. 28:26).
 
"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools" (Rom. 1:22).
 
"For Christ sent me...to preach the Gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.  For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.  For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.  Where is the wise?  Where is the scribe?  Where is the disputer of this world?  Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?  For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.  For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:  but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling-block, and unto the Greeks foolishness; but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God" (1 Cor. 1:17-24).
