Foolish for God?

I read a blog article of an "ex"-Christian that called into question Paul's comment of being a "fool" for Christ (1 Cor. 4:10). The author makes a strained attempt to illustrate that Christians really don't follow Paul's instruction to be fools for Christ, since, and I can't really make this up, Christians are actually quite sensible folks. (The evidence was that Christians put locks on their doors, are "rich" and aren't working 24/7 to clothe and feed the needy; and are therefore not really foolish).

First off, why would it be foolish to help and feed the needy? But it's an impossible argument when it comes to this type of faux-reasoning. The argument is, at its core, that Christians don't follow the letter of the Bible and don't perfectly lead the lives Christ and the Bible would tell us to. NEWS FLASH: That's absolutely true! We Christians are failures when it comes to living perfect lives and perfectly honoring the Bible and God. It would be foolish to believe otherwise.

So what did Paul say about being a fool? I'm not a Biblical Scholar, but I think Paul was telling us that when men see Christians as fools for believing in their faith of God, we have truly won. For we have shown our faith openly, and have no care as to what other men think. For it is Christ whom we serve.

The great thing is that God knows we are imperfect, but has offered us the gifts of love and Salvation through Jesus Christ nonetheless. Christ once stated, "Let the one who is without sin cast the first stone." Of course, nobody could, because we've all fallen short. God knows this, and loves us anyway. That is all that matters.
