[QUOTE="Aussie Pete, post: 74762159, member: 421731"] Phew. A conscience is a tough thing to keep clear in times of trouble. It is one reason that I came to Christ. I was raised with certain values, albeit rather confused. My dad was an ethical atheist. My mother pretend Anglican. I discovered how hard it was to stick to my values when everything in my environment was totally opposed. So my conscience was greatly bothered, not that I realised what it was that was bugging me. Your dilemma was one I faced except in a different context. I failed, so I cannot advise you what to do. What I do know is that Christ offered me a clear conscience and a new life that enables me to live by my conscience, not continually violate it. That is the difference between religion and Christianity. Most religions offer a code of ethics and a role model to follow (pantheistic religions like Hinduism are an exception). Jesus offered infinitely more than just an example to follow. He came that we might have new life. When the storms hit, you want to be in a ship that won't sink, not sitting there with an instruction manual on how to patch the holes in you boat. There is a terrible storm brewing. Lord Jesus offers to keep you safe as we go through it. [/QUOTE]
