Our conscience doesn't need "informing" it already knows the Truth.

Guess you've never run into any of those hellions, uh, kids whose parents belong to the "we'd never stifle his creativity!" school of child-rearing!

But surely you must have noticed that people's consciences vary widely. I do accept natural law, but, in general, people's untrained "consciences" are far more sensitive to offenses of others against their own perceived rights than they are to their own offenses against the claims of others.

This is going to be a tough argumentative nut to crack. DMOF can always say they didn’t listen to their conscience. I think dilemmas would be the knife which would divide bone from marrow, and even then it’s not certain.

Peoples "behavior" vary widely, not their consciences. We are all born with the same conscience whether we choose to use it or not.

It's not that their consciences are untrained, it's their emotions that are untrained.

Get it yet? ;)
