Personally, wouldn't matter to me. Seeing gods ass wouldn't make me a christian.
Well, what Romans is saying is that if God revealed it to you, then the message got through. You are suppressing your knowledge of God. Which I think you second sentence demonstrates pretty clearly.
I can't see the utility in suppressing something that doesn't matter to me - the existence of a god is inconsequential to my opinion of their religions.
Quote:In what way? You don't assume that the criticisms you offered for atheists wouldn't also apply to you in that event? That you might deny the god in your living room? Suppress clear evidence?

I mean, that would clearly challenge my beliefs, I guess. I'm not sure how that matters here, though.
In fact, I posit that you have - and that your comments are clear evidence that you are suppressing the truth of zues in your living room. Or maybe you just never met the guy. 50/50?
