God I can see her now:

"TONIGHT! Shocking news out of the Sea of Galilee...A man who took HIS OWN CHILD on a journey to be MURDERED! Experts are stumped, hear what the father's OUTRAGEOUS reason for his action was, next!"...Show more

The most troubling part of the story -- and it continues to be troubling to this day -- is that ANYONE would perform an atrocity because they believe some supernatural entity demanded it. I mean, seriously, an all-powerful, all-merciful god demands that Abraham kill his son as a burnt offering. Really??? THAT is a deity you would want to get close to??? And Abraham just goes and does it???

And these days, fundamentalist Christians bomb medical clinics and assassinate doctors and deny people their basic rights because they believe that very-same deity demands it. Really???

It's one thing to allow oneself to become self-deluded but it's quite another when that delusion starts affecting other people, and crosses into atrocity.

Troubling. Very troubling....Show more

That Christians (and Jews) can believe that Abraham passed the test is very troubling.

No wonder there have been cases of mentally ill Christians killing their children because God (or their hallucination of God) said so....Show more

That may be why the All-Knowing Almighty did it back then. The Liberals and the media would get too worked up today.

Besides, it is a beautiful story of a conflicted, tested man and his loving son doing what the Almighty commanded instead of seeking their own self-serving goals. Are you trying to convince me otherwise?...Show more

Not at all....God never intended for abraham to harm him.....If it happened today..the same outcome would result.
