That would be another lie, since your post only contains

Most of the Old Testament laws were done away with by Jesus. If you

Of course it is "relevant"! If you have no idea how to obey God's
law, how could you EVER know whether someone else was?

Exactly, you don't understand, you don't obey and you don't know. You
are merely trying to use God's word for your own selfish reasons to force
others to do what you want them to.
> You, however, claim to believe in God, and claim to be xian, and yet

You have no idea what the commands are, what they are for nor why they were
given to man in the first place. You have no idea whether I am obeying them
or
ignoring them because you don't know anything about them. You are just
trying
to use them for your own pesonal use not to help yourself be a better person
but
to force someone else to do what you want them to.

Secondly, your claim "you are commanded to follow by your god in your book",
is
a complete lie. I don't have a book. The commandments cannot be followed by
anyone. You don't know that becuase you have never taken the time to learn
anything.
> Don't worry, though; that makes you exactly the same as every other xian.

...in your ignorant opinion.

That would again be a lie. There are no passages of scripture which

There is only one Bible.

I don't have to rationalize anything. I am just giving the atheists
