Actually, your take on rule #2 violates rule #1, which is to challenge the supernatural.

And that's why rule #1 is ahead of rule #2. God is an invention of human beings. As such, he is limited to the human capacity. He's only as great as the invention itself, which isn't all that great.

So, no matter how you slice it, your stuck with human leadership. So the real question is, do you want deluded and flawed human beings in leadership, or just flawed ones.

Personally, I prefer the latter.

No you're wrong, #1 is no more than your opinion, and it's not a good one, you're trying to tell people how they need to live, so I just ignored #1. You can no more prove God does not exist than I can prove dark matter.

A teenager has to show up with credentials in person to get a job at Burger King. I do not expect less than that from the alleged Creator of the Universe.

God shows up daily, you only need to look.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
