Why would they reject God? Is it cause they didn't want to follow the rules? Couse they're rebellious little asshole hellions?
Or is it because they were taught that God is a tyrant? Is it because their parents gave them the choice of go to church or get the belt and go to church anyway? Was it maybe something to do with fundamentalists trying to censor speech? People trying to use their interpretation of an interpretation to justify controlling people?
Nah it can't be. You have highlighted scripture to pull from and reassure yourself that being a self righteous jackass is the will of god. It has to be or else you might be forced to change your worldview and well... can't have that...
No fren, it's because they suppress the truth in unrighteousness, meaning they love their sin so they push down the evidence of God in order to carry on the sinful desires of their heart.
Romans 1:18-19, " 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them."
People are either slaves of sin, or slaves of righteousness, so they will be controlled by one or the other.
