What I Believe: On being Moral

"What I Believe" is a series of posts on my current personal spiritual/religious beliefs. At least, my beliefs at the point of time of the post. These beliefs are personal and don't represent those of any larger group. I am proudly a member of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), but this blog is no way endorsed by Friends or meant to represent that community.
If you come across this before reading "On Points and God," you probably want to read that first.
If there is no toll for getting into heaven, no fear of what dreams may come after we shuffle off this mortal coil, then what is to keep us from being rapists and murders? Does moral action only come from the constructs of society? Do you enjoy repeatedly hitting yourself in the head with a hammer?
