You’re right. Real conscience oftentimes has little or nothing to do with Christ.
What exactly is it then?

Great question. You should start a thread about that. : )

As you’re fond of mentioning all sorts of off-topic incidents in these threads, I might point out to you that Ahmaud Arbery merely ran through the wrong neighborhood on his jog. He wasn’t carrying any firearm at all. Just ‘running while black’. That alone was enough for a couple of good ol’ boys to run him off the road with their truck, and then shoot him dead.
Ahmaud Arbery is a lot better case for your side to shout about but it's not getting much media attention. A couple of good ole boys down in Georgia have been smeared as racist long ago. Progressivism seeks to expand it's definition of white supremacism to Kyle Rittenhouse, Rustin Sheskey, Nicholas Reardon, and pretty much anyone else who doesn't think these people should be locked up and the keys thrown away. On this thread that includes people like Jersey Girl and even DocCam. That's why the Rittenhouse case is getting far more attention from the mainstream media.

During the Democratic primaries Joe Biden was a white supremacist. Is the supply of racial grievances higher in 2021 than it was in 1861? No, but the politicians demand for racial grievances is far greater than it was 200 years ago. Racial grievances are political gold and their worth and utility for Democrat politicians will only continue to increase until anything and everything must be about race. I expect to see racial tensions be higher in 100 years than ever before, even when people are so mixed that it's hard to tell which race one might actually belong to.

And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

What? In what context do you base your mention of me in your above? What exactly are you saying that my position is?

If you don't think Rittenhouse is guilty of murder, you're a white supremacist.

I'm simply a literate person.

Yes, fight or flight while you're sporting a semi-automatic rifle. Do you think it's a very different situation than combat veterans face?
Yes. Combat veterans were trained for combat situations. I'm sure they have a much better idea of who is after them and who isn't. I doubt they suffer PTSD from being chased, but then, they are in a much different situation.

I'm not arguing he doesn't have PTSD, and like you, I don't think it's relevant to his conviction. I also don't think it should be assumed to have influenced his testimony.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

I’m pretty sure they are after kids with deadly weapons looking to shoot people.
"I have learned with what evils tyranny infects a state. For it frustrates all the virtues, robs freedom of its lofty mood, and opens a school of fawning and terror, inasmuch as it leaves matters not to the wisdom of the laws, but to the angry whim of those who are in authority.”

Is someone assuming that it influenced his testimony?

Now there's a bad question.
