I obey the New Testament and obey the parts that the Bible says to obey. The Bible does not tell Christians to obey the Old Testament. Insisting that it does displays a great ignorance of theology that proves the person has spent next to no time reading the Bible, has probably never ever read through the book of Galatians.
You need to put that Bible down for little bit and pick up a Physics book. Do some research on the theory of relativity. Understand what space-time is. An omnibenevolent, omnipresent, omnipotent omniscient God cannot exist simultaneously with this universe. All of these characteristics CONTRADICT EACH OTHER and do not fit with the laws of our universe! If the universe is real, your religion is nominally FALSE! You have the gull to call anyone else ignorant? Jesus Christ!!
I wait on baited breath for your claim that the universe in fact must not exist. In which case, I'm sorry to tell you that Descartes and Keanu Reeves have already cornered the market on making anymore profit on such a claim. There wouldn't be any good reason for you to start a new religion based on that though, there's not enough money in it. How about attempting to understand the rules you and your surroundings follow everyday. Persue an understanding for the things around you using the abundance of knowledge available. If in the end, you still have a question in which you need to arbitrarily insert God, then go for it!! I'm telling you though, you'd be surprized how fast you realize it's just not necessary.
