Obviously, the only thing your conscience does for YOU is justify whatever supernatural and cultural beliefs that inform your weltanschauung--the same as everyone else. “…a righteous God will judge me “?? How in the Hell does that childlike statement purport to represent a reason?? So you believe that someone will judge you? So obviously you would know that breaking the Tenth Commandment and boiling a baby goat in its mothers milk is an obvious evil for anyone with your particular superstitions. But you could still prepare your meat that way if you chose to. You are apparently stating that you don’t practice any morality out of any personal reasons but only because someone who will be judged ought (for some unknown reason) to obey whatever is being dictated by the dictator. But your answer to "Why" seems to be merely, “because”--and if “because” is the only reason you can come up with, then I pity you indeed.
