Okay, I see part of the confusion. I am not defining inaccessible in the same way you are. I don't doubt (never did; seems like I keep saying that in this thread) that Christ-haters have an idea of the good, often perverted, and sometimes do right things. Following Van Til, but not slavishly so, I am saying that they suppress such knowledge (Romans 1). Sure, they have it. They just won't be consistent on it.

Lacking such a consistency, I have my doubts for a workable social ethic.
