An Introduction to the Conscience, A Few Things about It, and What the Devil and Jesus Are Up To With It
Who Dug the Pit in Your Stomach?
You feel sick when you've done something bad because you have a conscience, that internal referee that makes judgments about the things going on around you. This conscience is a gift from God in creation, it is part of our humanity, and it works like a courtroom where thoughts and actions are tried, and verdicts are pronounced. The conscience causes us to consider three things: our own actions towards others, others’ actions towards us, and the general conditions in the world.
