Choosing to do something already implies that they care about what they choose in some way. Caring about not getting caught isn't caring about not doing the wrong thing. The latter is something psychopaths can never choose.
Right, I was talking about behavior. They may not care about morality for its own sake or care about other people, but they can still choose to behave morally. ...Presumably as not to jeopardise their own well being.
What exactly is the argument again?
Well... why did God allow people without a conscience to exist?
Sure, they'll behave good if they're so worried they'll get caught. But then again, they may just hurt people and avoid getting caught. Why would God allow psychopaths?
And if all that matters is the behavior, from God's perspective, why does he make 1% of people psychopaths but 99% of people non-psychopaths? What's the point of a conscience if psychopaths can still behave good?
Sure, they CAN, but only when they have to.
