Umm seems you made your way to get here,
Maybe you misread it . Here's the living Bible translation Psalm 14:1Living Bible
14 That man is a fool who says to himself, “There is no God!” Anyone who talks like that is warped and evil and cannot really be a good person at all.
Calling those you want to "save" names is counter-productive. I'm no expert but humans generally don't respond well to ad-hominem attacks.
May want to pass that onto your "all knowing" god.
As for the rest, that's your opinion which appears to be formed from very little life experience and a myopic world-view.
The words of the psalm writer is only an opinion," if ", God doesn't exist.
But if God exists the mocker seems to only mock himself.
Only God saves.
Peace to you ,thanks for your thoughts.
Only God condemns.
"tyrannical" by what standard?
If you reject God then you are just matter floating in space acted upon by time and chance signifying nothing. Nothing matters. You don't get to borrow from the Judeo-Christian worldview to make your argument.
You know God exists, you just suppress the truth just like the Bible says you would. Romans 1:18-20
Q believes in God and quotes scripture. If you don't like that you can leave.
I can't opt out. Can I just live my life and die?
I reject bible god but I don't reject the idea of divinity of some sort. I'm just too good, smart and kind to accept the shit written in the bible. He's not worthy of my endorsement. It clearly works for many, but I don't look up to those people as critically thinking humans. More or less the sad, embarrassing products of indoctrination and fear.
It behaves like a cult forbidding doubt and chastising those for having it. That's a behavior liars and tyrants adhere to. Truth welcomes scrutiny and doubt because in the genuine, sincere pursuit of it, if it is truth, it's reinforced in the end. It's the journey to that truth that makes it unbreakable. Discouraging doubt discourages thought. This isn't kind and it's not an inherent attribute of Truth. It is however, one of deceit.
It's like the faith is scared of something. But that's just my perspective.
