Stop preaching to me. you should go down to the jungles of Amazon. God says, don't worry about it. I've already talked to the guy running around in the Amazon. Isn't that amazing?

This is one of those passages in Romans, and there will be many more like it, where you need to ask yourself this question. …
… who suppress the truth of God by their wickedness. Since what may be known about God, listen to this, is plain to them because God has made it plain to them.

And it says in verse 21, for although they knew God, plain and simple, the Bible is saying here that all people everywhere, all over this map, have knowledge of God, no matter where they live. God has made himself known clearly in creation, in our hearts, so that all are without excuse. No one can say, you didn't show yourself. He has shown himself to all.
