"The fool has said in his heart, "I prefer Pepsi."

True.
"This suit of clothes is SPECIAL, doncha know. Oh, yes. Because if you can't see it, that proves you're a fool."

According to that, I'm not sure how I would be labeled. I don't prefer either.
I think Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin would take exception to that statement. Stephen Hawking's, too.
If Adolph Hitler said you were a fool for not trusting him, I think I'd disagree.

Both. Out of context as you take it, yes, it is just like that. But the Bible exists in a context, and without that context that Bible verse doesn't really mean anything.

The Bible also says "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom"
No comparison - one is the Word of God and one is a campaign slogan that makes no difference to me. I will not stand before the maker of Pepsi some day.

Well, if you don't believe in the bible, then you wouldn't care that the bible is calling you a fool. That is true.
