"My conclusion was that Romans 1:20 was simply not true"

The heart wants what the heart wants.

"I also do not experience conscience as described."

The conscience is a strange thing. It can be and is, suppressed.

"Paradoxically I find that this increases my moral responsibility - without a fixed external authority that i recognize, the basic mandate to be good requires that I think about what is good from the ground up."

How can you build from the ground up if you deny the existence of ground from the onset? I fail to see how you can come up with a binding mandate or even define the good. It comes down to being equal to what you want to do anyway.
