We can not attone for them. God offers attonement because they are impossiable to follow.

Uh yeah, you didn't get the point. Why atone if they are impossible to follow? Why apologize for breaking rules that are designed to be impossible not to break? If breathing was illegal and you were threatened with the death penalty unless you regularly repented for breathing, would that not be insane? And all because someone in power decided breathing was wrong (when other people did it, anyway) while refusig to give a justification for his rule. "Because god said so" only carries weight if you can demonstrate that anyything god says is instantly infalliable (not just you think this is true, but proof that it is) and that the bible was written (directly or indirectly) by god (regardless of whether or not he exists, though if he doesn't it is automatically known that he didn't write/inspire it).
