Then you need to find your way on your own.

The defnition of "god" as an angry man in the clouds is pretty absurd.

is it more or less guaranteed that you will have a bad outcome if you act exactly opposed to the guidance?

if so, who set up the rules of the universe which prescribed that your bad ourcome results from breaking the guidance?

- the pursuit for individual and social well being imho is intrinsic for us as a species

- you cannot break physical laws

- if you try to live against human nature as a social being it probably have a bad outcome, e.g. if you murder or steal it might have a backlash sooner or later

- religious rules were usually developed for thousands of years, and would not have survived that long if they had not at least a little benefit for most, individually and/or socially.

Many are outdated, though following some routines as a structure or frame of living seems to keep a human being happy

I asked two pretty simple questions and I don't see an answer to either in this long response.

You seem to have a severe reading comprehension problem. You need to improve.

lol such a weak dodge.

Could also be, that religion always has been used to only give away responsibility. And for the rulers to steal responisility legitimated by some latin books only they can read and interprete.

Responsibility is not for everyone.

who makes that decision?
