| Jay520 said: By saying that God is a conscience, inner voice, or whatever, you must also assert that people don't have the ability to reject God, since no one can stop the voices in their head. This is flawed because the Bible says you have the Free Will ability to reject God, so your interpretation is wrong, or the idea of God is contradictory. |
I didn't say that "God" is a conscience. I suggested that, for all you know, a person's relationship with this god manifests as a conscience - that is, the idea that the "personal relationship" is why you have a conscience. Also, do you doubt that there are people out there who have rejected their conscience, who now lack a conscience as demonstrated by the acts they have perpetrated? I'm talking of the mass murderers, etc.
It is easy enough, in other words, to come up with a plausible explanation. That doesn't make it right, but it invalidates your argument.
You might not have noticed, but I haven't once capitalised "God" except when in quotes. There's good reason for this. Think about it.
