how tbombz the christian fundamentalist really feels and thinks:
These are the words of the old man. That old man is gone and a new man is alive today that is reborn in Christ!!!
The God haters cling to the old man who was once steeped in sin because it acts as consolation (and entertainment) given their similar, current and regrettable state of sin.
For the God haters, the old man can't die because he was even worse off than the majority of them both then and now. It brings comfort to them knowing someone else is worse off.....makes them feel better by comparison about their own stain of sin. It acts as justification or a metaphorical bar of soap somehow cleansing their own wrongdoings.
Yet, the old man is gone so the God hater clings to whatever they can to bring him back. In this case the idea of "preachiness" is what is clung to.
"He was a preachy, know-it-all before and now he just preaches about God. It's the same guy

just a different story is preached!"
No, it really isn't....it isn't at all.

Praise God!!
