    Moral sense.

    Moral sense comes from the knowledge of good and evil. Would you give it up?
    The Church still prizes the Moral Sense as man's noblest asset today, although the Church knows God had a distinctly poor opinion of it and did what he could in his clumsy way to keep his happy Children of the Garden from acquiring it.

    How many of us would give up our moral sense and return to animal ignorance or instincts that live without it.

    I would not because it tells me why I follow God.

    Would you prefer to be a sheep and follow God without knowing why?

    Regards

    I'm a moral person, yet, I follow no god or religion.

    The concept of good and evil is part of the software your brain runs on. You can't get around that. The brain is a weighing machine. A scale.

    You can attach beliefs to this process, and thats what religion does.

    The moral sense comes from observing others, and seeing what keeps the peace.
