Perhaps we should ask you to define conscience. As near as I can tell, if someone is acting in accordance with
their beliefs, morals, ethics, etc., they are acting in good conscience.
Whereas you seem to be defining good conscience as behaving in a way that you would and bad conscience as behaving in a way that you would not.
As an example, would you consider driving a grandparent out into the dead of winter as being an act of good conscience if this meant that the rest of the family could survive until spring?
Otherwise, I would have to agree with Barryem. When you start demonizing someone for not sharing your beliefs, etc., you are starting down the same road that lead to Armenia, Darfur, Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, the Nazi Holocaust.
