Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Here's what happened: they knew God was real, but they didn't honor him or show any gratitude. Instead, they got caught up in their own empty thoughts and their hearts just went dark with foolishness.

Knowing about God but ignoring him leads to a heart that loses its way in the dark.
