I'm like, okay? But it isn't appropriate now. So why do you still follow it? O_O
Which is the exact point that a lot of atheists make when arguing with theists. However, none of them want to hear that or consider that they are wrong. Most of the answers I get in response are:
"Because the lessons are still relevant."
"Because it still teaches us all we need to learn."
"Because I follow God, and the Bible is the Word of God, no matter how old."
It gets annoying after a while.
