 You're saying, nope, I want nothing to do with it, God. I'm going to continue to harden myself against you. Then I'll give you what you want. I'm giving you what you asked for, essentially. And of course, this is precisely like the way Paul talks about it in Romans chapter 1. He says in verse 20, they are without excuse for although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking and their foolish hearts were darkened.
