BTW, please provide reference to where this jesus specifically set forth the definition of a fool. Or is it added after the fact.
Indeed, Christ Jesus does clearly define a fool and it is recorded in Scripture. However in your prior statement you said; “Hence my statement stands and you would be foolish to continue to argue it.” Therefore I’m confused by your mixed message. Do you actually want to know or have you incorrectly determined that Christ did not define it so that your worldview is not shaken by truth?

How can our worldview be shaken by this "truth" you claim, when it is not the truth, just a belief?

The truth is that Christ Jesus did define a fool so that all have the opportunity to understand and identify a fool. You have incorrectly implied that He did not. Some have chosen to disregard the greatest teacher of all time – Christ Jesus – because He contradicts their chosen belief system – worldview.

Your "worldview" is chosen, but mine is not...You choose to accept legends and myths, but I accept the real world I see around me. It is not a choice, it just is.

Here is a hint to you: your christ cannot shake my worldview for the very simple reason he did not exist. At least not as you conceive of him. The only fools he defines are the ones like you who claim to know what he is saying and meant 2000 years later.

At least you admit that you are confused. You just refuse to admit the truth of what you are confused about.

BTW, you failed, or never attempted, to provide a link to your alleged citation of this definition. Would that be you disregarding the lessons taught you concerning the truth?

How can anyone have an intelligent discussion with someone who doesn’t understand the word choice and that all people make choices that define there worldview? If; "it is not a choice, it just is", as you assert it would be applicable to literally all people and therefore easily provable. Please do so.
