My argument is that people have an innate sense of morality, and they know, or can sense that certain things they do are wrong.
What the hell are you talking about? If the majority doesn't determine correct and normal acceptable behavior, or "morally correct" behavior, then who does? Morality changes based on external conditions, nothing inherent to it. If the majority is committing improper behavior and recognize this, they change their standard of what is morally acceptable. How freakin hard is that to understand?
