Sunday

We were sitting eating lunch one day when a few evangelical girls who were in a religious class he was taking, came over and started trying to debate him.

I remember him saying to them, "do you ever notice all you ever quote is the old testament? You might want to consider reading the New Testament. You know, the one that deals with what Jesus Christ taught us. The person whom Christianity was founded on." They huffed and stalked off. I high fived him. He said he considered the New Testament like a codicil to a will, in this case, the will being the Old Testament. It changed a lot of things.
