Well, first, you have to define 'guilt'. Is it something you learn from your home and culture or is there a native conscience? In either case, some people are more sensitive than others for a variety of reasons.
The first sin makes the second one easier. We become used to the feeling of guilt and better able to ignore it. Especially if you don't get caught. If you 'get away with it', if the law doesn't descend on you and God doesn't strike you dead immediately, the desire underlying the sin is that much reinforced.
It's like the frog in the pan of water. If you put a frog in a pan of boiling water, he'll jump out because of his sensitivity to the drastic change in temperature. But if you put him in a pan of cold water, put the pan on the stove and raise the temperature slowly, he'll stay there until it kills him. He becomes used to the incremental change and it doesn't trigger any reaction.

When we commit our first sins we feel the burn of regret. The regret of knowing that we have strayed from the path and fallen into the darkness. As we continue down the path and farther away from the light we grow accustom to the pain like your eye grow accustom to the darkness and it no longer burns like it once did. Only by renewing our faith in the Holy Ghost and stepping back on the path and into the light can we truly feel what we have lost. Only then does the guilt return because only then do we truly feel the pain of the loss of the Holy Spirit that was in us all along. Only then do we truly look into the light and know were we truly belong. Can i get an AMEN!

Conviction, condemnation, and reprobate mind.
Romans 8:1 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.
Romans 7:15,16 I don't understand myself at all, for I really want to do what is right, but I don't do it. Instead, I do the very thing I hate. I know perfectly well that what I am doing is wrong, and my bad conscience shows that I agree that the law is good.
1st Timothy 4:1,2 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron.

Guilty? I don't feel guilty, but then I've never really done anything that bad. As for the soul - well, there's not a shred of evidence that the 'soul' exists, so that's that then.

We feel guilty when we get caught doing something we think is wrong. It is a human emotion akin to embarrassment.
There are no souls. Sin is an outdated concept.

We know we could have done better.
I guess we lower our standards of what we are capable of. Guilt is a sadness, a loss of a dream of what we could have been. The funny thing is it can teach us humility and leads us back to an even greater truth.

As Christians when we sin we know and we care of who we are sinning against and we try to change. Non-Christians sin and continue to sin without thinking of who they are hurting.

That's what it means by having a good heart condition, or training ones heart to serve God. You don't train it in the right way, and you find it easier to drift farther and father away from God.

I don't feel guilty, nor do I feel shamed. Be careful, the mind enslavers use these as hooks to trap you.
