      I don’t think that most “lack” a conscience. I do think their conscience is either malformed or severely stunted.

        I think, for the ones who are just decent people, it’s more that they misattribute where it’s coming from

          I definitely agree with that. They think their conscience is “the voice of God” even when it specifically contradicts their preferred fable.
