How did you infer that I have an issue with authority? What makes god an authority?
Because of what you wrote.

Good for you.

If there is a God it can be assumed that "it" is an unassumed authority which is why "it" needed people to proclaim "it."

I agree God has no right to do anything but be what it is and I don't believe God or any conception that I am aware of forces anyone to do anything other than live and that is optional.
