Wow, it's so surprising that there's an argument about religion in the comments. -_-

Funny thing is, child sacrifice was very common in the time of this Bible story, and the whole point of this "test" was God showing everyone that he DIDN'T want child sacrifice to happen - you know, by providing a ram to kill instead. :P

@vazhkatsi Nnnno, that's exactly what it means. Based on the "City of God" metaphor, Christians in antiquity began calling non-Christians, especially Hellenes, "pagani," or "rural"; "heathen" arose identically and contemporaneously from a Germanic root, so what one does or doesn't mean, so the other. The word has never in broad usage referred specifically to nature worship, and certainly not originally.

@IoEstasCedonta A religion revolving around the worship of nature? The Christian bastardization of the word is analogous to heathen, or anyone who isn't of the Judeo-Chriistian-Islamic persuasion but that's not what it means.

@Mullahgrrl This is absolutely false. No matter how minimalist your interpretation of the Bible, Herodotus mentions circumcisions in Palestine, so if it didn't start among the Jews until some five centuries later it's a pretty massive coinkydink.

@vazhkatsi ...what does the word "pagan" mean to you?
-
@IoEstasCedonta when were they under pagan rule? before christianity, most of the dominant religions were polytheist, or rarely monotheist, and almost none of them were pagan.
