I guess maybe I anticipate-as-if I'll get punished for my sins? Although I don't know how you can disentangle anticipating-as-if the police will arrest me from anticipating-as-if society will ostracise me from anticipating-as-if God will punish me... or indeed from simply having a conviction that some things are Wrong so I shouldn't do them, regardless of anticipated punishment.

I blaspheme a lot though... I hope he doesn't think swearing in the name of Gods I don't believe in counts as anticipating-as-if those Gods exist. It's a culturally ingrained habit.
