So, it's like if you smoke cigarettes next to a pregnant lady, and the sign on the wall says no smoking. If someone asks you to stop, are they currying favour with the wall-fairy? Or are you being a dick by passing smoke to the lady (even if you don't realise it's damaging her health).
Besides, if we're talking Christian belief, said sky fairy is the same who made you and the world you live in, not too mention a bunch of other credentials, so he has a bit more clout than your average pigeon.
And as to the followers' hoops: "the views expressed herein do not always represent the views of the management" (although they ought to, if followers are following well!)
