They will tell you that you have missed the whole point of what Jesus did. The covenant between YHWH and the Jews supposedly changed when Jesus died on the cross meaning that all the sins you mentioned he forgave and paid for.

Why the fuck do you bother with your religion then? You cannot go to hell jesus took all your sins into him. I say do whatever you want, fuck everyone, kill people and stuff your mouth till you can't breathe anymore. Thank you for proving my point that you are willingly a sinner.
Live every day as if already dead, that way you're not disappointed when you are.

I was simply pointing out, with all due respect, that your argument has been dismantled by theology many times before. It's Christianity 101 that I learned during my first few month of being a 'True Christian'.

From the points I stated above, can I be considered as an Atheist?
I believe in God. I have been extremely skeptical about all of my beliefs, especially about my belief in God and yet I still believe and give a significant amount of money to my Church and the poor in general as a result. I also received a cumulative GPA of 3.7 (a 4.0 is perfect) in college and I am not stupid.

You can be stupid in one field and bright in another.
For example, you are downright retarded when it comes to justifying a belief in God and understanding the burden of proof, but are intelligent in book studies.
I am stupid in more areas than I am learned- but then, so is everyone.
You just happen to be ignorant in a rather important area.
My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
Man, in so far as he is not subject to natural forces, is free to work out his own destiny. The responsibility is his, and so is the opportunity.

"As you sow, so shall you reap."
You should believe in this...it's called social justice.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
