Paul has just finished describing in general terms of what happens to people who do not acknowledge God's law as the standard for moral behavior. They turn from their Creator and worship what has been made, even including themselves. Only because humans denied God and worshipped themselves and the creation, then did God give them His divine abandonment. As they deserted God, He in turn deserted them. He did this by not giving them divine, that is, supernatural protective laws, and allowing them to corrupt those laws which were of human origin. They corrupted the human laws to allow them to continue in their sinful practices with secular legislative authorization. Further, He did this by not sending them prophets, and allowing the worldly philosophers to teach anti-God absurdities. He let them do what they pleased, even what was vile, so that those who would not honor God, world dishonor themselves. This was all done so the lost would enjoy forever the horrible "freedom" they have demanded, and are therefore became self-enslaved to their sins. When our desires become our ruler and our authority, we quickly become slaves to the next appealing offer. This is the pursuit of pleasure.
