I don't believe you're a good person at all - jesus freak, or not. If you actually need an imaginary nanny in order to behave like a decent human being, you should be isolated from society.
But most likely - you don't. You were just convinced you do, by cynical con artists - priests/preachers and/or well-meaning idiots - your family, so that you're easier to manipulate. You see - it's amazing what sorts of feelings and beliefs you can instill in a small child, or an otherwise mentally vulnerable person.
