It is true that our consciences are formed in a large way by our teaching and experiences. I imagine your conscience allows you to do different things than mine allows me. Your conscience is formed by whatever influences have come to bear on you during your lifetime. My conscience has been formed through the influences on me, such as culture, christian teaching and the presence of the Spirit within me.

Where is it? Inside your kidney? Liver? You might want to get that checked out.

Ah, so in your head then.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

You may think abortion is okay and I don't. Your conscience is formed by whatever influences have come to bear on you during your lifetime.

So do you define your soul as your consciousness? Is it the thinking action of your brain?
