But but but...

I just proved that God DOES exist. Worse, I don't believe in all that nonsense....

So if he / she / it does exist, (and the local B&Q shutting at 4.00pm on Sunday proves it,) then it is either inside or outside of the law. Leveller asserts it does not have standing in UK law.

So, in that case, it is an outlaw concept.

Ok, put bars on the church windows and lock the ruddy doors whilst they are clapping and hugging each other. Might be able to enjoy my Sunday mornings without them knocking on my door smiling too much.

On a serious note, conscience does have a standing in law; it is called judgement. the guys with the silly wigs, once they have finished playing top trumps with points of law have to use conscience to interpret the spirit (now there's a word...) of the law when the word of the law isn't enough. Sentencing is society's instruction to a judge to use his or her conscience, (coupled with political tariff nonsense.)

(If I changed all my taps for quarter turn ones that don't need washers, would God stop existing? Just a thought.)
