What they had as a conscience may not be considered to be a conscience by anyone alive now. Conscience like morality is subjective to the soceital standards that influence it. How else do you think it possiable that so many jews found themselves Gassed or in camps?
Quote:Why is he the standard? Because he is powerful enough to impose his will on us?Yes! That and His creation His rules. No other reason.
Quote:So you do or do not admit that Adam and Eve were capable of understanding that eating the fruit was objectively wrong? (Assuming that it even was)Again it boils down to doing A when God says to do A and not doing B. They knew sin = death. This was enough for them to understand Not to do B.

The concept of Sin is only "what my god doesn't like". Not hard to understand. So basically what you are saying is that your god shows contempt for the physically impaired because he wants to show that he doesn't like them. It's not a groundbreaking conclusion.
No God is using the physical deformities, and physcial limitations all of those 'blemishes' that everyone can see, and builds an understanding as to how 'sin' deforms us spiritually.
