Epicurus riddle.

[FatAndFaithless]

So..we all actually know God exists, but consciously turn away from him?

Some do. There is a range of "knowledge", and God knows what each of us is accountable for.

However, if you will read the wording of Chad's post to which I responded, it should be obvious that we are discussing the response of those who do know that God exists and yet refuse to accept His free gift of salvation.

There are, of course, others who know less. Even these, however, know of the Laws of Human Nature (justice, mercy, etc.) that have been written on every heart (conscience). They will be judged according to what they know and how they responded to that knowledge.

Um...okay?  I suppose if I asked you how to tell between someone who does 'know' that god exists versus someone who doesn't 'know' that god exists, you'd say that's something only God knows?
