I think when you're subjecting billions of people to 4 things you run the risk of reductio ad hominem. I don't really know what that means, but it sounds kind of smart, kind of like reductio ad absurdumb.
Conscience is really just a person's inner dialogue or process regarding their morality. This morality mechanism isn't subject to your narrow interpretation of deliberation.

What are good things?
Doctor CamNC4Me, why are you asking those two questions?
Is it because you hope that I will answer them? I think it probably is. You want to carry on a conversation with me. Why would you want to carry on a conversation with me if you didn't think it was a good thing?
And why would you expect me to answer your questions, if you didn't have some expectation that I would think answering them is also a good thing?
People like to talk about good and good things as if they need to be defined, but really they don't. Everybody has some sense of what those terms mean. For example, the biggest difference between a genuine poster and a troll is that the former is good and the latter is not.
Is that what you do? You deflect, and then insult? I don't appreciate the argumentum ad hominid.

I told you what God is, someone who knows how to preserve forever some good things, and who is in fact preserving forever some good things. I'm not sure I know what you mean by asking me how "does it serve" my "question of preserving 'good things?'" Can you reword that?
Well. First of all, ain't no one preserving nothing forever. There's a law and it's called the 2nd Law of thermal and dynamics. If your god, who lives on a planet, and has to use the space stone to appear and disappear that's a lot of energy to use. And the universe is running out of natural resources, but instead of finding balance within the universe your god insists on unlimited reproduction and life just keeps multiplying and using up all the resources and then what?
I'll tell you what. We need to halve all life in the universe because I've seen what happens when too many people keep making more people and there's no space and it's crowded. It's called Korea, Kevin. People live on top of each other, and that's unsustaunable.
Is that a "good thing?"
No. And you're on this board pushing unlimited and unregulated consumption as if it's the panacea for all our ills.
You know who else did that?
Satan did. Are you actually stating that the Father of All Lies is good? Because that's the message you just sent loud and freaking clear.
