[QUOTE="Freodin, post: 72049839, member: 1363"] "Instrument: a means whereby something is achieved, performed, or furthered" (Merriam-Webster) That was the question: how do you fine-tune the means that you need to fine-tune it. Ok, you don't know. You give a lot of examples that you think shows this thing working, and you give a lot of examples that you think shows it failing. And you can't tell one from the other. You don't know. But you believe. Because this is what your authority tells you. If you had followed my questions [I]instead of evading them, as you have again done here[/I], you might have noticed that I never denied or even questioned the existence or effects of "conscience". I never tried to discuss the origins of "conscience". All I asked you to do is defend the idea that [I]your[/I] conscience is right, while others conscience is wrong. And you cannot. You don't know. Psalm 33:9 So, according to your very own words, they strove for good. Not usefulness, not wellbeing... for "good." Funny how none of the definitions included "believing in something impossible". An analogy where the main point of the analogy was not analogues to the point you wanted to make. So, skyscrapers are not real? Or do you want to point out that only "statements" can be "true or false"? In that case, I have to withdraw my previous tentative agreement and revert to my standard position on "truth": all "truth" is only an approximation of "reality". [/QUOTE]
