Romans 2: 12-16

"(12) All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. (13) For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. (14) (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, (15) since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.) (16) This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.

I find this section of Romans confusing. I think this means that if you know the law, whether it's God's law or the law of morals, you will ultimately be judged by that law. So if you don't know God's law, there will still be a standard by which you will be judged. Now in my head I'm exempting all people that do not live in 3rd world countries because we all know what Christianity is. That might be a little unfair because there are probably people who lived in non-religious families that don't know what the Bible says. But everyone will still be judged based on the yardstick of our society. One thing Paul points out is that whether you know God's law or only society's law, you still sin. Society's law doesn't offer forgiveness, but isn't it a comfort to know that God's does. All we need to do is ask.
