1. "Ah, the classic bible-cherry-picking bible thumping, how original.
Both Psalm 14:1 and Psalm 53:1 read, “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” Some take these verses to mean that atheists are stupid. However, that is not the only meaning of the Hebrew word translated “fool.”
In this text, the Hebrew word is "nabal", which often refers to: "impious person who has no perception of ethical or religious truth."
It is not to say that PragerUwU has no Ethical truth, they obviously do. Therefore, your usage of the passage is vain.
The meaning of the text is not “unintelligent people do not believe in God.” Rather, the meaning of the text is “sinful people do not believe in God.”
If one has their own moral compass that follows the golden rule "Do no harm." Are they then sinful? Who defines the sin, you? Your place is not to judge as no one can find salvation through you, for you are not the savior.
In other words, it is a wicked thing to deny God - if you believe in God. And a denial of God is often accompanied by a wicked lifestyle, if you continue to choose to believe in God.
The verse goes on to list some other characteristics of the irreligious/unethical: “They are corrupt; their deeds are vile; / there is no one who does good.” Psalm 14 is a study on the universal depravity of mankind.
Of course, when this was written, it was illegal to not believe in God. This text holds no water for the standards of today as many different codes of ethics have been explored that leave people to be better people than most religious followers.

Huh-uh. So why does the Bible says that practicing homosexuality is sinful?
Doesn't it indicate that doing so is way of denying God as well?
And moreover, does it concern you that anyone who is really into homosexuality have a risk of catching STDs or HIV like any straight couple?
