Christians too? (This is not an idle question).
"While 1:18 can be seen as a introductory statement that includes
all, 1:19-32 seems (though this is not said explicitly) to refer to
Gentiles. & I think
to all Gentiles, though not every Gentiles is guilty of every sin he
lists. "
I had always thought, perhaps erroneously, that Paul had in mind some
particular group of "bad guys." With your interpretation, I have to think
about the chapters differently.
