I think that moral constraints are bullshit that there really is no god, given that, anything that you do is never wrong or right your actions either are beneficial to you or others or are not helpful or in anyway safe for anyone at all. Even with having accepted this I still develop my morality because its just unskillful to do what you want when you want in this age.

Quote from Nietzsche about Morality:

"Virtue has all the instincts of the average man against it: it is unprofitable, imprudent, it isolates; it is related to passion and not very accessible to reason; it spoils the character, the head, the mind - according to the standards of mediocre men; it rouses to enmity toward order, toward the lies that are concealed in every order, institution, actuality - it is the worst of vices, if one judges by its harmful effects on others
