Well, sociopaths believe that they are moral. In fact one of the identifying marks of a sociopath is that he believes in the absolute perfection of his beliefs, judgements, and perceptions.

So I guess just because a person doesn't feel that what they're doing is 'immoral' that doesn't mean it's right.

I think the first principles of morality were founded on just what "felt" right to early (or relatively early) Man. For most of us, killing, stealing, committing adultery, etc. don't "feel" nice. They (usually) leave one feeling a bit "dirty" or "tainted."

I think that's our conscience at work, when we feel something like that isn't right. But sometimes, people probably ignore their conscience so many times, and commit immoral acts anyways, their heart hardens, and what they once knew as wrong becomes second nature to them, and they see it as being a perfectly fine thing to do.
