Safeguard Your Conscience
The idea of flying in a plane with a wrongly programmed computer is frightening. Imagine, instead, that someone had tampered with the aircraft's guidance system or had deliberately falsified its data! Well, in a figurative sense, that is exactly what someone is trying to do to your conscience. He is out to sabbotage your moral guidance system. His objective is to put you on a collision course with God! - Job 2:2-5; John 8:44.
Who is this vicious saboteur? In the Bible, he is called "the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire enhabited earth." (Revelation 12:9) He was seen in action in the garden of Eden when, by using specious reasoning, he persuaded Eve to ignore what she knew was right and to rebel against God. (Genesis 3:1-6; 16-19) Since then, Satan has masterminded the development of entire institutions of deception to lead people en masse into enmity with God. The most reprehensible of these institutions is false religion. - 2 Corinthians 11:14, 15/
