TenQ:

The answer is knowing two things:
1. Your conscience is the "software sentinel" that warns you when you are about to do wrong.

2. Why does your conscience warn you?

Conscience is an inner feeling or voice viewed as acting as a guide to the rightness or wrongness of one's behavior. And it is based on the morals and ethics that one accepts. Your conscience can only determine the wrongness of an action if you already believe that it is wrong. So your conscience doesn’t warn you but just reinforces what you already believe about rightness or wrongness.


TenQ:

The consequence is embedded in the knowledge and acceptance of the purpose of your conscience!

I have no idea what you are trying to say.

TenQ:
Fake hope!?

Do you have hope beyond your present existence?
Do you think you are more than mere chemical reactions of atoms and molecules who "somehow" developed a DNA?
Do you think there is any purpose to life other than to be born, eat, grow and reproduce?

What does hope beyond present existence mean?

I am human made up of atoms, molecules, dna, cells, etc. I’m one of the myriad temporary arrangements of matter in what we call the universe.

Purpose of life is determined by the intellectual capacity of each person and necessarily constrained by society. (unless you leave society and go live in the wild). Other than that, life is another temporary arrangement of matter.

You could even view life as a stage in the decay of a planet. grin like how food turns bad and life starts to grow on it.

The purpose of life is not to be born, eat, grow and reproduce. Those are just characteristics of life.

Regardless, the “purpose of life” is whatever you want it to be. No one can say it’s wrong or right because who is to judge? But there is no apparent purpose that is incontrovertible and observation can lead to the view that life has no purpose.

Is it possible that an engine or a computer determine what its purpose of existence is?

Have your conscience EVER told you something was wrong even when NO ONE had ever told you such activity wasn't okay?

Why should I ask “the Jews” when you’re the one making the claims here?

Somebody called God gave the Torah to Moses, you claim.
Did this God author the Torah? How did Moses receive it?

My conscience doesn’t tell me anything but I do have feelings about wrongness or action based on my values, morals, and ethics, which place human welfare as the highest ideal.

You are unique then. As a child, even when I didn't know the meaning of stealing, I subconsciously knew that taking powdered milk from the cabinet was wrong. I also remember that while I was about 6 year old, we had a housegirl that was trying to molest me while my parents were not home. I instinctively knew what she was doing was doing was wrong (I was a teenager before truely comprehending what she was contemplating doing).

Your conscience is like animal instinct specifically tuned to guiding you to doing right!

If there was no law against murder and theft, would these two activities be RIGHT?

Are you saying you have NEVER instinctively knew that an action was RIGHT or WRONG?

You are conflating terms and just muddying the waters now. Nevertheless, when you thought taking the powered milk was wrong, it is because you were old enough to recognize other people’s property. The molesting maid was making you feel uncomfortable because of the unwanted physical touches. Neither had to do with subconscious or instinct.
I’m the case of the molestation, you had reached an age with well developed ideas of right and wrong with you were a teenager to finally have an opinion on what she did.

Instinct is independent of thought while conciseness is dependent on though so they are not the same.


TenQ:

One life form terminating the life of another or taking what the other regards as its property is one of the things that occur in nature. They are neither right nor wrong.
In human societies, such activity have been termed murder and theft, and are deemed as wrong.
I also consider them wrong because they are antithesis of human welfare.

TenQ:

Are you saying you have NEVER instinctively knew that an action was RIGHT or WRONG?

Right or wrong does not have anything to do with instinct.

Appreciation? No!!!
More like subservient, slavish, and obsequious. That’s why you don’t see the absurdities in Judaism.

First of all, that looking at the “finger while pointing to the moon” adage is nonsense. You point at the moon and say it was your imaginary friend that created it. Hiding behind a stupid saying doesn’t negate the silliness of your claim.

You don’t see any absurdities because you are subservient, slavish, and obsequious towards Jews. You understand it just like the Christian understands his and I understand that it’s all nonsense.

Just carry on with your Jew worship and try not deny your subservience when called out on it, just say “I understand it”. And try not to claim that Odinani is the same as Judaism because It’s embarrassingly obvious that a Jew won’t equate his religion to your culture. So keep being one of the groveling Goyim, the religious Jews probably enjoy it.

I found it interesting Reading through your write up. You made a solid point about the contradictions in different religions. But do you believe that there could be a true religion amongst all? I would like us to have that conversation over WhatsApp. Here is my number 08167469103
Yes of course...
There is a TRUE RELIGION recognised by GOD, but it is not found among the over 250 religions or religious groups on earth. Christianity and every other assemblies we call 'religion' on earth are FALSE, ADULTRATED and MAN-MADE.
TRUE and GENUINE RELIGION recognized by God, is not a place we go to, or a group we belong... It is a LIFESTYLE we should adopt.
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." (James 1:27).
Summary:
True Religion is simply a lifestyle of KINDNESS and HOLINESS. Anything outside this, is False Religion, unaccepted by GOD.

I don't believe in any God, I see God as everything happening around and what is going to happen next. You can't understand me
Ok.....what is your basis for believing that everything happening is God in itself since you don't believe in any God.
