You don't need religion or the shadows of bloated historical figures to understand and promote a basic common courtesy
The Golden Rule of Christ (treating others as you would like to be treated), a respect for Individuality.
The word θέλημα (thelema) is rare in classical Greek, where it "signifies the appetitive will: desire, sometimes even sexual",
God creates; Nature produces; Art multiplies. God created Chaos; Nature produced it; God, Nature, and Art, have perfected it. ... Chaos means universal matter, formless, but susceptible of all forms. Form is the Light inclosed in the seeds of all species; and its home is in the Universal Spirit.

God Is resting from creating, it doesn't mean literally God is resting from now to judgement day
God formed a perfect environment, man sinned and ended that perfection
We do know God, revealed in Jesus

So your opinion of what jesus taught is almost completely backwards compared to the way in which the bible portrays them. I like your version a lot better as they appear to want freedom instead of unthinking slaves.
