Our sense of what is right or wrong is not an instinctive part of us.

Explanation:

Nietzsche's philosophical thoughts on morality argue that a moral code is not in our nature, while Zimbardo argues that we shouldn't expect our decisions to be influenced by mortality alone. Nietzsche's thoughts on mortality are grounded in opposition to Christianity.

He starts his argument by quoting from the bible, "If thy offend thee, pluck it out," before labeling the Christian idea as 'Stupidity' (Paragraph 1).

He argues that sensuality is in opposition to Christianity and the church always wanted destruction of its enemies. But we are immoralists.
