Conscience

When we are nothing more than flesh, we can kill, maim, torture and abuse if we are without conscience.
When we are without love, we can demean and demonize the other if we are without conscience.
When we deny the humanity of others, we can exploit them if we are without conscience.
When we deny the sacredness of others, we give up our own conscience.
People tell one another: Grow a set of balls. They need to say: Grow a conscience.

Throughout time, humans have looked for God in many places—nature, religion, the heavens, the church, even the street. To my mind, God is in the conscience of human beings.
