kooka_lives - the problem with the saying is that it is an edited version
of a complete passage.
Psalm 14:1 actually reads: The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
The second part is dropped because it cannot be reasonably defended. Some folks feel that chopping a line out of a bible passage somehow allows them to call others fools without being responsible for their words. Many people do not realize that on the same page it says:
"Believing that the bible is the word of God is the sum total of mankind's wishful thinking"
All one has to do to read this clearly is to block out a few letters here and there. Hey, what's the difference between blocking out letters and chopping passages in half to allow someone to express their own opinion and use the bible as a source of credibility for that opinion? Both are merely self serving edits to make the bible say what the person wants it to say.
