Who are you and why should anyone care?

I am a reader who had a question.   It is up to the writer to make himself understood.   Maybe a preface to explain what we were reading would have been helpful.

I've heard of John Q. Public, Joe Sixpack, John Bull, Percival Milquetoast and the like but I had never heard of Bobby Foole.

A search found the name "Bobby Foole" in newspaper archives from 1861 and 1925, but the archiver wanted a fee to view the text.

In any case, the writing fell flat for me, but I see now it wasn't written for me anyway.   Cheers!

Thank you for your interest in my piece.
Booby Foole is a fictional character that I invented in order to make the points I made in my piece up there.

Booby Foole represents the secular rationalists and so-called atheist activists that haunt Thread World on the Internet At Large and attack Christianity. I wrote the piece from an Evangelical perspective and as a traditional Bible believing Christian.

By the way there is no such thing as an atheist. All men KNOW there is a God that created them — and my piece makes THAT point too.

Romans 1:19-20 says “since what may be known about
God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to
them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible
qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have
been clearly seen, being understood from what has
been made, so that people are without excuse.”

Note the particulars in Romans 1:19-20
{1) There is information that can be known about God.
{2} This information is plain to men.
{3} God Himself has made it plain to them.
{4} It has been plain to them since the creation of the world.
{5} God’s eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen
{6} All this in understood from what God created.
{7} Therefore men are without excuse {for not believing in God.}

Romans 1:19-20 is the germ principle of the Teleological Argument
for the existence of God — the argument from the Intelligent Design
of the Human Person, the Earth-Sun-Moon-Stars, and the Universe.

Best Regards.
