ALL social species have evolved 'rules' for cooperation, altruism. kin selection. If they did not, the species would not have survived.

The more advanced the social species, the more rules of higher complexity they have. If we did not evolve our morality, empathy, altruism, etc, we would not have survived as a species.

I actually do exactly as I please. I rape, murder, steal, cheat, exactly as much as I please. The amount that pleases me is exactly ZERO. 

If you did not believe in a god, would you be out murdering, raping, stealing? If so, please, keep believing.

I wouldn't mind living next door to you. The Bible is no deterrent to rape, murder and stealing for someone who really wants to do it.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
