THE WORST THING ABOUT BEING HUMAN IS POSSESSING A CONSCIENCE, BECAUSE THIS REMINDS US, PAINFULLY AT TIMES, THAT WE ARE WRONGDOERS. The Answer To Ridding Oneself Of A Problematic Conscience Is To Cut It Out Or Deaden It Or Heal It. After all, a conscience is merely the inner recognition between right and wrong and need not be bothersome if we can deaden it.

What is the benefit to having a conscience?

Congenital analgesia is a condition where children are unable to feel pain when they have hurt themselves or if anybody else physically hurts them. The dangers of congenital analgesia is told in Steve Pete’s story: Congenital analgesia: The agony of feeling no pain—BBC News.

As a baby, when Steve began teething, he was able chew a considerable portion of his tongue before his parents had noticed that he was eating himself. Self-preservation against self-cannibalism is one of the reasons why experiencing physical pain is to each one’s advantage.

Our conscience is capable of pricking our internal faculty that records pain at the spiritual level of our existence. The spiritual level of existence is where our thoughts are produced. Thoughts are produced as words; but as sounds they are not seen when voiced. Yet when people say something that is derogatory, which is insulting or belittling to us, we can experience pain, even though we do not see the words—merely hear them.

Our conscience is the internal faculty that enables us to possess knowledge and discern right from wrong, good from evil, truth from falsehood. Essentially, without a conscience—which means joint-knowledge (HELPS Word-studies conscience)—we are not capable of thinking, because thinking requires us to distinguish between two things and possess knowledge of the differences.

If we were not able to feel pain as a consequence of our thoughts, we would not appreciate the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, falsehood and the truth.

If we have a deadened conscience, this is analogous to suffering from congenital analgesia, where one can be eaten up by moral violations, corrupt to the core, without realizing that death—a lonely eternal existence void of peace, joy and love—is consuming oneself until it is too late.

Unlike the temporary physical realm that can be seen, the unseen realm does not come to an end. Cessation of physical life for humans is not the cessation of existence; for our spirit—from where our thoughts arise and where our conscience exists—and our soul continues (compare: Luke 12:4-5).

A conscience that is alive enables us to recognize violations of righteousness and rectify our own infringements of other people’s rights. Those who have seared their conscience have lost this ability. Therefore, they will violate the rights of other people. This includes insulting their parents, who gave them birth, and the Eternal One, who created humans in His own image, in the hope that they might seek to enjoy their relationship with Him and each other.

Instead of seeing people seeking the righteousness of true love or the truth that upholds justice, we find the realm of men bedeviled by corruption, hatred, warmongering and all kinds of evil that are violations of the Ten Commandments handed down by God to remind us what it means to have a conscience.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MORALITY AND CONSCIENCE IS SIMILAR TO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WATER AND A TAP. The Tap Exists To Provide Water When Required, The Conscience Exists To Provide Morality,The Ability To Know Right From Wrong. The conscience is what enables us to think, which distinguishes humans from animals.

What is the difference between "morality" and "conscience"?

Our conscience is the faculty that exists within us from birth which enables us to distinguish between good and evil. The very word itself means “with knowledge” or the possession of the “ability to know”. The American Heritage Dictionary informs us the word conscience derives from:

Middle English, from Old French, from Latin cōnscientia, from cōnsciēns, cōnscient-,present participle of cōnscīre, to be conscious of : com-, intensive pref.; see com- +scīre, to know; see skei- in the Appendix of Indo-European roots.

Without this faculty to distinguish one thing from another in an abstract form, human beings would not be able to think. They would have no means of understanding opposites, let alone the synonymous. Therefore the faculty that we refer to as the conscience has from time immemorial been recognized as the conscious element within humans that is the quintessential determinant which distinguishes humans from animals. This is not a chemical or biological function, and nor does it emanate from biochemical interaction.

Because we possess this faculty which enables us to be conscious of right and wrong, good and evil, and express these ideas in abstract form, we also possess the ability to think.

Morality derives from our conscience. When we make decisions to go against our conscience, we are exercising thought processes that will cause us to have psychological issues of some sort. Many people resort to alcohol or drugs to dull the internalized pain that their conscience causes because they have chosen to do something discordant with their inner faculty of right and wrong—like listening to discordant music. The problem for those plagued with a conscience that persists in troubling them is surgeons cannot remove it like they can a cancerous tumor, because, as stated above, the conscience is not biological nor chemical.

Morals are principles or., if you like, laws of behavior. They emanate from our ability to think. However, while people can possess a distorted conscience because of cultural programming, whereby certain aspects of the conscience is slowly deadened to not feel the internal pricks for doing wrong (sodomizing the innocent, becoming a prostitute), this does not mean the faculty does not exist, nor has its own internalized recognition of good and evil—good being that which is right to do and evil that which is wrong.

When we are challenged from within about some action that contradicts our natural recognition of right and wrong this becomes an issue of morality, if we know that what we are doing is something we would not like done to us.

True morality is about the rightness of our actions that affect other people when we know that those same acts would be detrimental to ourselves and, of which, we would not approve, if we were the recipients. Simply put these immoral actions are identified in the second half of the Decalogue. The moral code within the Decalogue covers every aspect of human interaction. One half of the Decalogue is about honoring the Source of our conscience and the reason why we have the capacity to think.

False morality is anything that is superimposed upon our conscience (even through conditioning as children) that causes us to contradict that which is found in the Decalogue. This could be a dress code that, if not adhered to, is considered a grievous violation worthy of ostracization or even death. This could be a code that requires people to marry within the social status of their family or the persons selected by their parents, otherwise offspring are automatically ostracized, if not killed—tantamount to an abortion that would have been, if the future had been known by the parents. False morality could be the exaltation of nature over humans to the extent that the latter is killed if seen contravening expectations. False morality is the conditioning of children to accept unnatural moral concepts; a fact evident in many cultures and the reason there are conflicts inherent in forced multiculturalism.

The difference between one’s conscience and true morality is the conscience is the source and morality is the outcome. So when a person says, “That is against my conscience,” or “That is against my morals,” this is like saying: the water comes from the tap and the water comes from the spring—or river, or dam.
