That's a good one.
I suppose it depends on what you *think* you can get away with at any given time. Also, if you don't believe in any form of eternal punishment for any ill thing you may do, your "sins" will be self-limited based on the everyday wisdom you accumulate based on experience. In other words, if you think something is just plain stupid to do (even it it merits some short term gain), you won't do it. We are our own ultimate police.
