If we know or feel something is wrong, someone must be telling us; this someone (God) must have set the rules of what is right or wrong Cardinal John Henry Newman identified the voice of our conscience as the voice of God. CS Lewis the Author of The Chronicles of Narnia suggested that the conscience shows that God expects certain standards from us Conscience Illtyd Trethowan was an English Priest who believed that our conscience shows the value that we hold for others, and that value comes from God

How else could you criticise the conscience as being from God?
Sigmund Freud did not believe our conscience was from God. Instead he believed the human mind was split into three: The Ego – the conscious self, we are aware of thinking, of being us The id – the unconscious self, our memories, our wishes, desires that may even be repressed to ourselves The Super Ego – the driving moral force or conscience. This is built from society and our parents, not from God How else could you criticise the conscience as being from God?

Where is the voice of God?
Yanomami Women of the Amazon Yanomami culture is very violent. Men will often attack rival tribes and rape and capture women to marry; wives are regularly beaten to keep them docile and to show a man’s strength. Women are beaten with sticks, stones and blunt objects. During menstation, the blood is viewed as evil and women must squat over a pit out of view of the tribe. This is the Super Ego!!! Society creates what is right and wrong then our brains follow. Why doesn’t the conscience of the Yanomami man think ‘wow this got out of hand quickly…’ if it is guided by God?
