So you tolerate rules that are not only nonsensical, but also makes everyone’s lives harder? And that everyone should put up with it simply because they’re rules no matter how arbitrary? Segregation between black and white people was also a rule, you know?
Moreover, nowhere did you and I mention Yahweh prevented any disobedience. In any case, your comment acknowledges that Yahweh allows disobedience but has the power to prevent it. So, either he is omniscient and could prevent future actions but does nothing, or he isn’t omniscient at all.

God doesn’t do nothing, as He judges everyone. We have free will. Also, don’t see what segregation has to do with it. God never instituted that.

God could have punished Lot’s daughters though.
So let me get this straight, he punishes those who commit sins according to his own judgement, but some who commit sins are not punished? Does Yahweh have concrete rule he follows or not? Why do some get punished while others don’t? And why are some commandments just there-- like not allowing to eat the fruit of knowledge. Everyone like knowledge, right? What is so bad about knowledge that Yahweh does not want Adam and Eve to eat the fruit containing the knowledge? Which goes back to the point whether Yahweh is omniscient and yet does nothing, or he’s not omniscient at all. Or rather, he’s omniscient but tempts people into commiting so-called “sins” knowing the person will disobey, and then judge later on despite knowing what the person will do prior to doing it. Interesting. Sounds like this god is a mad scientist.

The difference is that the law comes from an infallible authority - the government, while God who created all things including morality is infallible.
How do you know God didn’t punish Lot’s daughters? The argument from silence won’t cut it here. When you die, God judges you, and He judges you perfectly. The ones who don’t get punished aren’t simply waived away. It’s because their punishment has already been paid for by them through Jesus Christ’s suffering on the cross, Whom they repented to and embraced. And that offer is open to everyone, including you.
