So basically, those who don't believe in the Christian God are fools who subsequently worship men and birds and animals and reptiles?
..as the man said, when people don't believe in God they don't believe in nothing, they believe in anything. That said, unbelievers do believe in God all the time. I mean, everytime an atheist believes in his heart that murder is wrong and is appalled when he hears of the murder of another, he believes God and the foolishness that comes from not believing God isn't his. Remember, unbelief is a progressive thing - as the passage indicates through the use of the word 'become'.
Plenty of people don't believe in God. But that's different from believing in your heart there is no God. Such people are indeed fools - they've completely turned away from that knowledge of God installed in them by God.
Why would an atheist have any belief in a god if he doesn't believe murder is right? If I believed in your god, I wouldn't think murder was wrong, because hes uses it all the time and even orders men to murder others. I believe murder is wrong because I wouldn't want it done to me, my family or my friends. I don't believe in anything, I accept which has evidence and reject that which has none. I am skeptical of things that have possible evidence but that this evidence is lacking in concreteness such as alien beings from outer space.
