I'm talking more than just getting your teeth knocked in. I'm talking getting murdered, your wife getting raped, and your property getting stolen. With no state protection, what is to prevent that from happening?

In the same way that the threat of future punishment by getting thrown in jail stops people from doing those things now, the threat of punishment by God or Gods would serve the same purpose.

"With no state protection-"

Basic human decency.

That works fine in small groups, but not so well with those outside that group.
