If god exists the way he is described, then everything is existence is subjective - i.e. determined by is will - and therefore, subject to alteration on a whim. Our agreement - or even judgment - never enters the picture. If the rules were objective, we could figure them out - we could figure out why things work in a particular way and reliably use that understanding in future judgment. We'd expect things to act consistently and not change arbitrarily. We'd expect them to measure up to the standards of logic and rationality - because that is how objectivity works. But, since they are subjective, all that goes right out the window.
You can't do math if God exists? Gravity is no longer measurable. Squares can have 7 sides? Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together. mass hysteria!?
