Saint Paul’s Tribal Demonization of His Critics
Exposing the Christian fallacies in Romans 1
Christianity distinguishes itself by including in its holy scriptures Romans 1:18–32, which is a highly influential passage that’s perhaps also the most fallacious one ever committed to papyrus or paper.
To take one example at random to demonstrate this text’s baleful impact, here’s an apologist using that text in an article called “Answering atheism | How can a Christian talk to an atheist?” at Apologetics Central:
According to Christian doctrine, as expressed in Romans 1:18–22, every person inherently knows God, but often, this truth is consciously or unconsciously disregarded in favour of unrighteousness. The Bible teaches that God’s wrath is revealed against those who suppress the truth by their wickedness. It further explains that God’s eternal power and divine nature have been evident since creation, making His existence undeniable and leaving people without excuse for not acknowledging Him.
It’s crucial to understand that if we knew that a creator of the universe inspired Paul to write the passage that perpetrated that calumny, all of us would be obliged to commit suicide to escape from the universe’s grotesque absurdity.
