I don't think anyone is truely "born without a conscience," but over a period of time, if they consciously suppress, ignore, and reject what that little voice within is telling them, they eventually lose it. That condition is described in the Bible as having a conscience that is "seared with a hot iron."
You can see this conscience-killing process occur in cult members. Heck, I can look back on my own experience in TF, and how I assisted in my own deception, when I consciously suppressed my conscience, whenever it tried to convict me for swallowing doctrines that I knew to be wrong.
