Isn't it a kind of a perverted outlook to even think that rules provide safety and comfort for those who keep them? It is quite disturbing to imagine that there are negative consequences for those who are not keeping them.

Appy, I wish I could follow you here.
The law of God is in our hearts, and alive in us when we walk in the Spirit.
No one is a fan of lawlessness. But this is not part of the story Jesus is telling either. It's not related to the meaning of the Story. The only one who mentions rules, commandments or law is the bitter elder brother in the story.
