Are you saying the suttas do not talk about rebirth at all? If rebirth is mentioned in suttas then why else is it mentioned if not for morality?

I think too, that rebirth was taught by the Buddha in terms of moraltiy. Some people really believe that being good now will lead to a better rebirth in their next life. This woks well with people that practice because of fear about hellish punishments and not through understanding about the origin and cessation of Dukkha. One is about fear and the good and bad issue and the second one is about dissernment.

But even that, sometimes the idea of rebith can be understood in the here and now. The enlessly rebirth of our own delussions again and agen also in a single day.
