@secondson saidI can't be disobeying "commandments" I don't believe exist.
Existentialism anyone?
God, and His commandments, exists independent of what you believe.
Grapple with it all you want, and hide behind the facade of statements of unbelief, but you will never escape the reality of God that exists to your very core.
God knows where you are, but demonstrates His grace by gently asking "where art thou", FMF?

Your excuse is noted.
@secondson saidCouldn't a Hindu give the same answer, if asked for evidence that their gods exist?
The evidence is all around you. Very simple.
@secondson saidPeople can't disobey "commandments" they don't believe exist.

There's only one God.
