Not all people have a conscience. Remember, the bible tells us that some have been given over to a reprobate mind.

There are numerous explanations for the development of the conscience. Social pressures and parental instruction are two which come to mind.
There is evidence that among chimpanzee colonies that should one chimpanzee commit a breach of accepted behavior, the group at large will chastise the offender. Since chimpanzees and humans derive from a common ancestor, there may be a genetic component. (I"m sure I'll hear about that comment)
Late last year, on the 25th of December, I received a number of very nice gifts. I did not make the leap of reasoning that would lead me to declare that the presence of the gifts were proof of the existence of Santa.

Probably. I can do a great job of ignoring it when I choose though.
And, exactly what besides your statement do you have to back up what you believe? Did everyone before God not have a conscience, are sociopaths made by the devil, what?

So why do you assume that because we have a conscience, that it must have been a god that put it there? That makes as much sense as saying purple squirrels entered your mother's womb one night before you were born and put a conscience in your fetal brain.

it's also my way of reasoning and feeling guilt with out your
fantasies of supreme being . was your computer designed from god ? I suppose you give all good credit to god and blame man for all gods shortcomings ? this is the typical standard for believers in the supernatural . please try to at least rethink my point of view it only takes a few days . myth is an easy but weak explanation and often contrary to reason and goodness.sorry don't mean to preach but your question spurns me on.
peace out

If Boobeus the Nipple God isn't real, where did we get nipples? Nipples are the handles Boobeus uses to pull us up to boobie heaven.

No it is just our sense of what is right. That comes from evolution. You are more likely to survive as a species if you have a connection to your group.
