Sure!
That's your conscience talking to you.
(Either that or its your Mom on the closed circuit tv). hahaha
Just listen to your conscience and do the right thing and you'll sleep better.

I'm not a religious person, but sure I feel guilty if I do something wrong. However doing something that's wrong is different than doing something that's against your upbringing or your religion. Let's say you're brought up to believe that it's not ok to eat meat, and you go out and have a hamburger. That may be against your upbringing, but it doesn't make you a bad person, and it doesn't mean you did anything wrong. It just means that you did something you were brought up to THINK was wrong. You're your own person.

Yes, definitely. God has given us a conscience and the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, so we are able to tell the difference between right and wrong. We feel bad when we do something wrong. We all make mistakes, just try to do the right thing!

don't rely on myth and legend to tell you when you can and can't do "something."
Evil people will always do evil deeds but only religion can make good people do evil.
You feel guilt so you must have a conscience. Combine this with your intelligence and gut feeling and you will do very little wrong.

Guilt can be different among many people. A white lie can make some people sick to their stomach, while a mass murder won't even phase others. I just tell myself it was a bad idea, and not to do it again. You can't reverse time, yknow.

Of course, and then I realize that I have my own relationship with God, and he accepts me with all my faults and flaws. I ask forgiveness, if I know I did something wrong, and I always try to maintain the truth.

Yes, I feel guilty when I do things that I want to do but know is not what God would do.

No. Never have. Be your own person. If you live to everyone elses expectations.... or in this case, worry about it... then you'll be sorry once your 80 yrs. old.
