So, you don't feel you should have to obey laws you disagree with?

You have the free will to make decisions based on the available options. If by free will you mean that any unrealistic idea of yours will come true, then no. Now, I would ask..who do you think would know whats better for you, you or the one who created you and knows you better than you know yourself?

In the hypothetical, if God did exist then you would be wrong about nearly everything. Are you saying that wouldn't change your perspective?
