Let it be henceforth proclaimed to the world that man's conscience was created free; that he is no longer accountable to his fellow man for his religious opinions, being responsible therefore only to his God.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Conscience is God present in man.
A man is truly free, even here in this embodied state, if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything.
He that speaketh against his own reason speaks against his own conscience, and therefore it is certain that no man serves God with a good conscience who serves him against his reason.
As human beings, we are endowed with freedom of choice, and we cannot shuffle off our responsibility upon the shoulders of God or nature. We must shoulder it ourselves. It is our responsibility.
But no man has a monopoly of conscience.
Lord of myself, accountable to none, but to my conscience, and my God alone.
God knows and sees all. His wisdom and knowledge far outweighs mankind, and whether or not people ever recognize it - He is the creator. He is the giver of life, and only He has the power to take it away. That's why its imperative to submit to Him.
We are accountable for our actions as we exercise our moral agency. If we understand this principle and make righteous choices, our lives will be blessed.
Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.
Human beings should be held accountable. Leave God alone. He has enough problems.
