As a Christian, I don't expect non-believers to live in accordance to scripture. It just isn't realistic. Non-believers need Jesus, but until they accept him, they obviously won't listen to his word.

So that is why, to me, the most important verse in this section is verse 32. It speaks to those that know the scriptures:

and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

BINGO! What happened to Israel when they got into delivering their children to Molech?

"It speaks to those that know the scriptures"

I don't believe that is correct.

The earlier verses of Romans 1 clearly outline that all of humanity is accountable to obey God because of the evidence that creation itself provides.

No person is excused from the knowledge of God. However, Christ has provided a path to salvation through his blood, (if we choose that path**,) because we are incapable of keeping God's law.

That is why I believe that Christians only duty is to spread the truth, (both in word and deed,) about salvation through Jesus Christ. We can do what we want in the political arena but I believe the evidence proves that we are beyond a political solution.

"The Fix is In" and the enemy's time is short...

**It's really God that does the choosing although He lets us have our part... ;-)
