  • Rom 1:20-32 : 20 For since the creation of the world, His invisible attributes—His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God or give thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools. 23 And they exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man, birds, animals, and creeping things. 24 Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is forever praised. Amen. 26 For this reason, God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature. 27 In the same way, the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, He gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, and malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they are senseless, faithless, unloving, unforgiving, and unmerciful. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things but also approve of those who practice them.

They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.

  • Prov 23:29-35 : 29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless wounds? Who has bloodshot eyes? 30 Those who linger over wine, who go to sample mixed drinks. 31 Do not look at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly. 32 In the end, it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper. 33 Your eyes will see strange things, and your heart will utter perverse things. 34 You will be like one lying down in the middle of the sea, or like one lying on the top of a mast. 35 'They struck me,' you will say, 'but I was not hurt; they beat me, but I did not feel it.
