What is this website all about? What does its name mean?

The term «faithful» indicates that its object is to examine faithfully and honestly the words and deeds of our Lord Jesus Christ as found in the Gospels so as to understand as well as possible what God told us in His Son.

The term «fool» indicates that anyone who actually follows the message of our Lord Jesus Christ is a fool in this world order's eyes. Indeed, Paul clearly states in his first letter to the Corinthians:

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.1

Jesus' message and life are foolishness as He let Himself be tortured and killed, without in any way trying to save Himself; as He preached non-violence and love of those who are said to be enemies; as He preached God Father, the One Who loves perfectly and equally each and everyone of us, whether we are war criminals, torturers, child abusers, mass murderers, rapists, victims or saints!

Jesus' crucifixion is a «stumblingblock» for those who believe in a God Who looks after His own faithful followers, Who definitely protects them against their enemies as He definitely did not save Jesus from the shame and torture of the Cross, but let Him go to His death just like He did with the millions of victims of the shoah.

Jesus' crucifixion is foolishness for those who believe in self-defense, in just wars. We do think that we know better: we know that we have to protect our family against enemies in and out of our country like our leaders repeat to us time and time again. It is wisely that we believe in democracy, the right of ownership and justice under the law. Like our leaders, we know what is right, just and wise.

Unfortunately, if God Father did not protect His Son's life, it follows that we cannot protect that of our spouses and children as we have to follow His example if we claim to be Christians. This means that we as Christians have no choice but to practice non-violence and to love those who oppress us.
