We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; in deed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul ... if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

The Spirit of Christ is given to every man that he may know good from evil. ... But whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do evil ... is of the devil.  Moroni 7:16 - 17 both gives us great hope and also condemns us to that great pit. The choice is ours and yet we are enticed constantly that the things of the devil are all right. If we are to judge if a thing is right or wrong by how it makes us feel the devil can certainly duplicate that. Strong drink, drugs, improper sexual activity, anger, or even abusing another can give us euphoric feelings and numb our feelings of remorse. How can this be wrong we say when it feels so good. Sometimes when inappropriate behavior occurs at a young age it is difficult to break those chains and come unto Christ and be clean. Sometimes we know it's wrong but we do it anyway. The innocent child born with a drug addiction, or abused at a very young age feels safer with Satan than with Christ. How then are we to judge that individual? Can we judge them? How then are they to be saved?
