Isn “liberty or freedom of conscience” subject to abuse or too broad a phrase?
A. Liberty or freedom of conscience must be defined for what it is and what it is not given the vague implications it has been given by moral relativists. True freedom of conscience is the person’s inherent right to know, love and serve God without hindrance, the right to practice his religion, and to see that the laws of his country (including association codes of ethics) defend and uphold it. Conversely, the moral liberal erroneously thinks that freedom of conscience is the complete independence of every man with regard to religion, the freedom to believe what he likes or nothing at all; the right to be in intellectual and moral error, and that it is his right to require that the laws of his country take into account his skepticism and his unbelief.
