How is it you claim to have knowledge of the bible when you don't have an understanding between the old and new covenants?

When Jesus broke the power of death, it was finished.

I wanted to know why I didn't get it and my father did. I went out trying to prove the bible true and only found fraud ... tons of it. Piles of it.
I didn't "discover" sin when I was 18 and think, "WHAT'S THIS?!?! IT'S AWESOME" ... and your accusation of this is event in my life is what you need for you to make sense of the actual reality. Funny how that works hmm.
It's not what I need to believe, it's because I know human nature. Your whitewashed version of the events doesn't match the emotional responses you have given me, nor your testimony about your life i general. Whatever you say, it all comes back to sin.

I simply walked away from christianity. Its even reasonable to assume that I've lived a more fair, honest and moral life than you and many of your jesus licking, hypocrite brothers-in-christ.
What I do know about your dad is that you broke his heart, and that he is pleading the Lord for your soul every night.
