So explain this to me. He [God] can crush you or nurture you depending on whether you do what he says, and your answer is to say 'why should I?!?' like a petulant four-year-old asking why he should do what his parents say?

Since God has not said to me what I should or should not do, I don't care.
When my children were 4, I told them directly what to do, and when they refused I punished them as needed. God has failed to tell me directly what to do, and I don't take the word of random people of what God has said.
My mother never tried to crush me when I disobeyed. She sat down with me and talked to me about it, and then I saw her point of view and understood why she'd asked me to do X task.
God never tells me what to do, and then he tortures me for not doing what he didn't tell me to do in the first place.
He [God] can crush you or nurture you depending on whether you do what he says, or not - His whim , and your answer is to say 'why should I?!?'
Well, damned if you do / damned if you don't.
No, rather like a petulant child asking why she should heed the monster in the closet.
A four-year-old knows that her parents exist. She does not know that the monster in the closet (aka God) exist.
