Here is what your conscience is not:

It is not the Law. The Law is a set of restrictions intended to perpetuate the status quo (aka by The Establishment, for The Establishment).

It is not morality. Morality is a set of restrictions used to cement loyalty to a mythology and the church that sells it.

It is not cultural sensibility. Cultural sensibility is a set of restrictions arrived at randomly by memetic interaction and history.

It is certainly not Puritanism.
