"no one is here at our request, but at the creators request, and they  are provided for by him. we need to trust the process of creation that  god has set into place for us, to be complete.
human interference in that process is the only one that we need to be  concerned about. we can reduce our interference most definitely.
reducing other peoples interference is a more difficult problem.
it is a matter of balance, not absolutes. guidelines, not laws or  rules."
I don't agree with this person.
I don't think God could possibly have put over 6 billion people on  this little blue planet so that we could try to avoid "interfering" with  each other :-D
Of course I could be staring at my own navel and vibrate to a different  level of existence, and it would be very peaceful, harmonic, serene and I  would not get into trouble with others... unless the day they decide  that they want the spot I'm sitting on, or that I'm doing "it" wrong >:->
Then - I happen to believe we NEED laws and rules, because people just  ignore "guidelines", interpret them as they like and claim to be  following them.
Just look at Christians. Now, Christianity is the biggest, single  religion.
One could think that the guidelines, that is, the Greek Scriptures,  would be enough... but are they?
Do you think that an Indian Catholic person is following the guidelines  the same way as a Usonian Evangelical? Or Scandinavian Lutheran, or  Kenyan Protestant? In fact, if you ask the Usonian Evangelical, he will  tell you that the others aren't even Christian. :->
No. Take a simple law, "thou shalt not kill", and people  understand that killing others might be a bad idea. They might discuss  what exactly was meant with "kill", if it means "murder", if abortion  can be included, or death penalty, or euthanasia. Are animals included,  etc. but they understand, that killers are not good people. 
The law itself is much easier to follow than the guideline "But I say  to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be  in danger of the judgment." Eh?
"shall be in DANGER of judgment? You mean, it's not certain? That  some times it's ok to be angry with your "brother" and call them names,  and one might get away with it? Besides... I'm not angry, precisely...  I'm just a bit annoyed by him, because he thinks he's all that and  harasses others with his "rules" and "laws"
*facepalm*
So - this is his opinion, and I cordially disagree.
