God's voice, Abraham, and child murder.

Abraham is a hero of Judaism and Christianity, for his show of faith in agreeing to murder his child.

That's right. He acted on a voice in his head telling him to murder his kid.

What would we think of someone who did that nowadays?

Not very virtuous. Not a pillar of human morality. Not an example of righteousness to which to aspire.

"God spoke to me, your honor! I murdered my son with a knife because God told me it would please him! C'mon! What was I supposed to do?!"

in the bible god kills a total amounts of about 2.4 million people not including the flood, sodom and gomorrah and other un numbered ones. with numberes its about 26-33 million, want to know how many stan kills? ten, not ten million, ten as in "10" the number after nine, you know "9"

@j919or The human writer recorded a fevered figment of his imagination. The Holy Babble is, of course, related to what they could see, therefore it is mostly unrelated to what I can see. Who the heck is Strangland? You are an offense to humanity. Your imaginary fiend is an offense to decent morality.

@paramattic70 "Abraham had psych problems."

There's another possible explanation. One way to read the bible (esp. OT) is that the abrahamic god is a kind of "space monster", who happened to visit earth (the Middle-East specifically) a few thousand years ago, and did all sorts of nasty alien stuff onto the humans. Like mind reading, sick random punishments, and so on.

(Possible but EXTREMELY unlikely. Still, more likely than the god of the bible actually creating the universe etc.)

You're absolutely right. God's disgusting.

Oh, and by the way - maybe that's why he is so pleased with Abraham. Abraham copied what god did all the time - killing own children.

This book is sick and god is a pervert, murderer and rapist (or better - so are the people that have written the bible, because god can't possibly exist in such a grotesque form). And for sure they were stoned heavily when writing the text. Just look how the repeat everything twice and start each sentence with "and".

Don't waste your time debating a Christian.I don't, for the same reason I don't debate someone who thinks the Moon is made of cheese. It's like trying to stop a dog that's humping your leg. It's funny at first but the more you try to push it off the harder it humps. In the end the dog runs off and licks it's own ass and you got the dogs Jizz on you. Moral is- don't wrestle a pig cuz you'll get covered in shit and the pig is still a pig.

[paramattic70]

That's the difference of an Atheist. I would lay down my life for my child. Christians would kill theirs. Fucking Cowards! If any Christian can justify this with a test of faith, then you should be in prison. Here's a test, do an act of kindness to someone you dislike. Give a homeless person all your money. Volunteer your free time at a childrens hospital.

Christians who think Abraham was righteous are deeply troubled. If God came down and commanded me to Kill my boy, he would get a boot up his ass. It's real easy to criticize if you dont have kids. I do, and I know the bond. Abraham had psych problems. What kind of Scumbag God tests faith like that?

@GriiiiiiinD If Jesus can not fulfill the promise of ALL prayers as promised then what makes you think you will be saved from anything? If you wont be saved by the imaginary promises then perhaps reason can save your mind from delusion. He said all your prayers will be honored so pray for something you actually have concern for like a dying relative of an incurable disease to be healed instantly as promised. I think its only when we confront the truth do we really see what it is

[sean32laf]

@GriiiiiiinD "Trust in Jesus and you will have eternal life"

Trust your Jesus to fulfill his promises of prayer as he stated many times over Matthew 21:21-22, Matthew 7:7-8, Matthew 18:19-20,Mark 11:24-25 ,Luke 11:9-13,John 14:13-14,John 15:7,John 15:16,John 16:23-24 ect to give you what ask for just as you asked and will not receive any substitute or told no ,and is obviously Gods will according to Jesus. If you dont receive what you prayed for.....Jesus lied didnt he?

@n2it77 What an amazing sacrifice to give yourself up for something you believe in & be "dead" for 3 days then live again, ruling over paradise for eternity. This is a deep Love. Christ "suffered" for 3 days because he loves us so dearly. Why are so many theists not even willing to open & read the entire Holy Babble to find out for themselves what is actually in it rather than believing these deep misinterpretations from rabid mad dog con artists???
