Our conscience is God telling us something is wrong. Even people who are not born-again have most likely experienced their conscience functioning. We all have a human spirit. It is this part of us that longs for God. It is this part of us that feels empty and we keep trying to fill it with things like education, job, money, sex, drugs, whatever, but nothing satisfies us until we have the Lord.

And if that is true, why do so many people who claim to be christian get an education, a job, money and have sex? Isn't that completely pointless if you've got the "Lord"? I mean, if it is just a substitute you should stop using/doing/wanting it as soon as you get the real deal.
The Lord is my penis; I shall not want.

"Our conscience is God telling us something is wrong."

Funny. My conscience tells me that, according to the descriptions of him that many people give (including your holy book), if he existed, your god would be one evil asshole...
Actually, Maronon, there's been some recent research that suggests there is a part of the brain that "longs for God." When electrically stimulated, it produces a strong feeling of divinity or mysticism, even in those who don't believe. Interesting stuff.http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/7.11/persinger.html
Right..because when people are "born again christins" they no longer want education, jobs, money, sex, drugs and whatever.
If you need god, it only means you are doing the above mentioned things wrong. Also, where's love on your list?
Hmmm, I'll stick with the education, job, money, sex, drugs, and especially the whatever.
According to Martin Luther we're not supposed to listen to our conscience. He said that our conscience is susceptible to being misled by the devil. The bible is the only perfect guide to morality. Pat Robertson has said the same thing.
Maybe this, and other questions, are trickier than you give them credit for.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
