Here's a question for anyone: Why are Christians supposed to follow those rules that God lays down?

God has never laid down any rules for Christians to follow, only man made the rules.
As explained before, "what God wants" is impossible, as this would prove Gods existence, which as we both know, is impossible.

Of course, you don't know that. You have only trained yourself in the thinking response that you use all the time... that there isn't any God.

Wake up and see that the odds for the existence of God in nature are extremely far greater than the odds against His existence, so that you can turn to Him before it is too late for you.

By what method do you calculate your odds, and what exactly are those odds? And, if you can't quantify those odds precisely, then how do you know they are greater?

You don't need me to do this for you. You can do it yourself. For example, right inside your questions is a tendency towards equilibrium, towards entropy. How could there be extreme complexity in the face of the all-encompassing and all-pervading entropy?

If you've been following me at virtually any point in this thread, you know that I already purport there is a means of quantifying the certainty of God's existence. That's why I'm asking for *your* thoughts and your method, although you obviously don't have a clue how to calculate or quantify the "far greater odds" that God exists. You just say flowery crap and lie to/convince yourself that you know what you're talking about. You lack any ability to answer a direct question on the topic and instead just say "blah blah you don't need me to do that for you," which is correct; I don't -- but really, it's probably more like, "I don't even understand what he just asked me to do. Crap! Dodge-mode activate! Alert! Alert!"

You poor baby. Can't take it that somebody ~~won't~~ can't play your game with you. Well, that's entirely okay since it is giving you pleasure not being able to take it, right?

Cheesy

Fixed that for you. If by "game" you mean giving proper consideration to someone's post and showing respect and thoughtfulness by actually responding to its specific contents, then yeah...what a complex game, huh?

Fix it the rest of the way. Answer your own questions.
