A. My conscience says gays deserve to die
B. My conscience says brown people are inferior and a waste of resources
C. My conscience says someone who married across races is going to hell, so I won't help this one either
D. My conscience says Muslims, Buddhists,bl etc are going to hell, so I should not help them either.
E. My conscience tells me women are really property designed to carry babies for the males that own them, so I can refuse to do abortions even if it means the woman dies.
F. My conscience tells me BLM t-shirt wearers are subhuman, so I will let that person die too
