Why not just follow the rules then? It's like saying you respect your boss so much you always put in your 8 hours...but you don't do any work, you just punch in, sit idle, then punch out.

Perhaps God is not like a boss. The respect is exactly in spending the energy to do things differently on the sabbath, the point of the sabbath is to do things differently. The complicated rules are, arguably, the point.
