Summary

This quote suggests that when it comes to matters of personal morality or conscience, the opinions and decisions of the majority should not dictate what is right or wrong.

Muhammad professed to derive from Heaven, and he has inserted in the Koran, not only a body of religious doctrines, but political maxims, civil and criminal laws, and theories of science. The gospel, on the contrary, only speaks of the general relations of men to God and to each other - beyond which it inculcates and imposes no point of faith.
