Without consciousness
we鈥檇 all be sociopaths.
I claim this because all decisions made
without it
might be morally mistaken,
since any we might make while choosing
moral paths
could not听be by what I call听conscience,
or听our consciousness,
be taken.

Paths taken while we act unguided by it are
as likely to be morally as incorrect
as ones that we from anyone
who has no conscience
might expect.
By creating what becomes our conscience,
unconsciousness
deserves respect
for its power to听prevent us from
the moral path to deviate and
defect.

Matspun,听the Hebrew word for conscience
signifies
unconsciousness,
its root
denoting 鈥渉idden,鈥� like the meaning of
sounds of shofars Jews every Rosh Hashanah
toot.

In 鈥淧ope Francis Is Turning Certainty on Its Head,鈥� NYT, 9/19/24, David French writes:

Pope Francis made two comments last week that touched off a tempest in Christendom.

First, during an interreligious meeting at Catholic Junior College in Singapore, he said that religions are 鈥渓ike different languages in order to arrive at God, but God is God for all. And if God is God for all, then we are all sons and daughters of God.鈥� 鈥�.

The idea that we are sons and daughters of God is basic Christian doctrine. He is the creator, and we are his creation. But the pope鈥檚 statements go farther than simply recognizing God鈥檚 sovereignty. He indicated that other faiths can reach God as well. 鈥淏ut,鈥� he continued, 鈥溾�榤y God is more important than your God!鈥� Is that true? There鈥檚 only one God, and each of us has a language, so to speak, in order to arrive at God.鈥�

Then, in a news conference on his flight home, he addressed the American presidential election and criticized both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. 鈥淏oth are against life,鈥� the pope said, Harris because of her stance on abortion and Trump because of his stance on immigration. Pope Francis would not choose between them. Instead, he said, 鈥淲hich is the lesser evil? That lady or that gentleman? I don鈥檛 know.听Each person must think and decide according to his or her own conscience.鈥�
