What would happen if there's no fear of either divine or human punishment? what do you think people are going to do?

In the short term you would get some chaos, but the laws came about for a reason; the promote good for society as a whole. We would start to police ourselves and eventually put controls back in place to preserve our way of life. We would start to self govern and expel those who consistently hurt our way of life.

Total Freedom. But you and those around you had better have a good handle on self sufficiency, self discipline, and self defense.
Anarchy is a political philosophy suporting a minimum of law and lack of organized government, NOT as most people think: chaos and rioting in the streets, those are abhorrent behaviors which should (but are seldom) sumarily punished.

go crazy basically. Riots and whatnot. But eventually people will get sick of always having to stand up for themselves and for their friends and a law system would end up being established. Because all we really care about is survival. And compromise on our freedom is apparently worth it.

Everything devolves to survival of the fittest and business becomes more ripoff than service. in short everything goes to hell in a hand basket. Laws are essential to civilization.
