The Buddha also said that by not regarding the first four precepts and not living in mindfulness of your actions, makeing negative/harmful choices, one will be reborn in the animal or hell realm. I will add the source when I get back to my computer after work. So how would this not relate to your presant existance/practice?

I don't understand your comments. How am I not regarding the first 4 precepts and not being mindful of my actions by saying that belief in rebirth is irrelevant to my daily life?

The 5 Precepts are:

1. Panatipata veramani sikkhapadam samadiyami
I undertake the precept to refrain from destroying living creatures.

2. Adinnadana veramani sikkhapadam samadiyami
I undertake the precept to refrain from taking that which is not given.

3. Kamesu micchacara veramani sikkhapadam samadiyami
I undertake the precept to refrain from sexual misconduct.

4. Musavada veramani sikkhapadam samadiyami
I undertake the precept to refrain from incorrect speech. (lying and abuse)

5. Suramerayamajja pamadatthana veramani sikkhapadam samadiyami
I undertake the precept to refrain from intoxicating drinks and drugs which lead to carelessness.
