"Utter Foolishness"

"The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good." (Psalms 36:3) If you really think about it, God's fingerprints are completely undeniable when you study any portion of creation; I really don't care what sort of story you have been fed about where we all came from, if you study creation, you will see God's handiwork and know that it was Him who created it all. The thing that stops those from seeing His handiwork is that they refuse to consider the Creator, thereby making up empty ways to explain the hows and the whys of existence. Is it any wonder our younger generations don't respect life as they should? if life is just a mistake, then what's the use in making life mean anything beyond just going for it? The word "iniquity" that David is speaking of is different than the iniquity from the previous verse, whereas the previous one spoke of perversity and depravity, this one here speaks of trouble, wickedness and sorrow; all of which are the result of emptiness that is brought on by false belief, or the vanity of idols. Those that believe that there is no God, although they might think that their belief is not a religion, it is; and although it is utterly false, it is what they have placed their belief in, and what they worship as the truth; like it or not, it is a religion. The word "deceit", on the other hand, is a word that speaks of treachery, and treachery requires an effort to cover up the truth, or to deceive after having realized truth; in other words, it is like denying what you know in your heart to be true, and making every effort to explain away the truth with a lie. Like I said, you cannot study creation and no see that there is a Creator; the way to get around that, is by denying that there is a Creator, and then to study a result of something else; the problem with that, is that you have so many dead ends without considering the real source of the beginning; and then you just have to make stuff up in order to satisfy your belief. Doesn't this sound like pure idolatry? Idol worship is really idle, going nowhere and leading nowhere... "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? hath 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 stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; but unto them which are called, both the Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men." (1 Corinthians 1:18-24)
