Journel entry 7 – CST/IST2 – 27/3/08

Conscience is a hypothesised ability or faculty that distinguishes whether our actions are right or wrong. It leads to feelings of remorse when we do things that go against our moral values, and to feelings of recstitude or integrity when our actions conform to our moral values. It is also the attitude which informs our moral judgment before performing any action. The extent to which such moral judgements are based in reason has been a matter of controversy almost throughout the history of Western philosophy.

A persons conscience can alter the decisions being made by the person. The relationships between religion and conscience is that its like a persons conscience to follow a religion and certain beliefs in a religion make conscience things happen.
