Penitence

No doubt God finds it a particularly human and annoying trait every time we decide to go ahead and do something we feel is a bad thing, but to feel alright about it anyway, so long as we punish ourselves or in some way minimize the joy we may get out of doing it. Where's the sense in "I'll benefit from doing a bad thing, but not TOO much!" Guilt seldom turns us to God so much as keeps us from Him, or makes us feel we are punishing ourselves so He won't have to. God doesn't want to punish us. He wants us to do good things so punishment isn't relevant.
