Would you kill your child to show your love for god if he asked?

He did it once already.

    The moment that the god asked, as a test of faith or anything else, would be the moment when I realized that that god was unworthy of being worshiped.

    It's worse it you believe that God is all knowing, as "testing your faith" is a pointless exercise for such a being. An all knowing being would know exactly what would happen before he created the "world". There would be no need for "testing your faith".

    He has done it more than once, remember all the times in the bible where god order people of a town to kill and murder everyone in the town, family friends and such...many, many times over and over again

    The GOD Morality Dilemma by R. Ries

    1. Can your god change the worshiping methods\rules\morality\anything for his followers to follow at any time? (Yes/No)

    2. Do you believe your gods word absolute? (Yes/No)

    3. If god orders you to kill your own child, will you? (Yes/No)

    As proof that god will, does and can force his followers to murder Brothers, Family and Friends is in Exodus 32:26-29 & Genesis 22 is just two of many instances of evidence that god in the past has ordered people to kill family members, friends and neighbors and praised them for doing so.

    ~~~ R. Ries 1987 The GMD

    There is even evidence now where Blair Donnelly - God told him to kill his daughter! - Christian

    Like it or not religion breads and fosters fanaticism which is why our forefathers created a separation of church and state.

    What the GMD shows is that ANYONE who puts any god above a human is an immoral person because god has shown in the past, if the bible is said to be true, that God has NO concern for human life i.e. Exodus 32:26-29 and hundreds others like it. Anytime you place anything above human existence then you become immoral because you are NO LONGER concerned about human goodness, which leads to God murdering everyone on the planet in a great flood. LOL

    This dilemma is proven for a fact by this video

    Nov. 11 2009 here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSW_L-6vNZY

    and Abraham preparing to sacrifice his son to God (Genesis 22:1-18)

    What this morality dilemma shows is that ANY belief in religion or god is an immoral act and this has been proven time and time again throughout history. Furthermore, it shows atheists have higher sense of morality than any deist or person of “Faith” because “Faith” forces it’s believers to place their sense of morality in the hands of authority, i.e. church, bible, religion, god or pastor/preacher.

    An Atheist gain their sense of “Morality“ from their humanity and not an authority figure and this means an Atheist values human kind above ALL ELSE. An Atheist values humanity above all gods, ghosts, goblins, tooth fiery’s, plants, animals, microbes you name it.

    Religious people, (people of “faith”), on the other hand can not value humanity in the same way because the bible, koran, book or religion tells them to dislike other human beings for various reasons to suite their warped ideology i.e.

    Koran Surah 9:5

    Christian/Catholic

    Old Testament:

    ---Leviticus 20:13 Homosexuals

    ---Exodus 32:26-29 Family, friends and neighbors

    I find the next video morally reprehensible and is only provided to show why I don’t respect any religion at allows it’s believeras to do this to fellow humans. Your opinion may differ?

    New Testament:

    --Romans 1:24-32 & Leviticus 20:13 Persecution of homosexuals - Video Evidence http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEQuW2v6U2o

    ---Ephesians 6:5-9

    ---Luke 19:26

    which does place “Atheist Morality” miles higher than any Deist or person of faith could ever achieve.

    god would never let you go through with something like that. Yea He asked only to test Abraham, God did stop him before he did it. Before you ask this type of question you might want get out all the facts!

    Jephthah only had to kill one daughter to defeat the Philistines. She was probably only worth two or three donkeys, he got a pretty good deal really

    He was just playin' the first time, but Jeptha actually followed through by sacrificing his virgin daughter for god after he rewarded him with a successful crusade.

  • 8 years ago

    Actually that "once already" was a test of faith. The child never died. God sent an angel to stop him before he killed him.

  • 8 years ago

    Absolutely not. I follow my own values, not those of a myth. My values say that my offspring are worth far more than the command of an omnipotent being who could do it himself if he so desired.

    No, the child protect agency would not believe me for one, B I'd have a damn hard time explaining that to my wife (who'd be ex-wife after that). C, the kid probably wouldn't agree with it either.

    "Abraham's story was changed. They dug up the tablets that revealed a different story:

    Abraham was walking down the dirt road--not that all roads are dirt--with his son.

    "ABRAHAM"

    "...somebody call?" After a moment, "c'mon son" and starts truckin' down the road again.

    "ABRAHAM"

    "--WHAT?!"

    "This is God, Abraham."

    "God?"

    "Yes. God. I want you to show your faith in me."

    "What--here? In front of my son?"

    "Wha-? NO! not THAT! I want you to kill your son to prove your faith of Me."

    *Blank stare*

    "By killing your son, you show unwavering faith in Me."

    "Am I hearing you right?"

    "Yes. I am perfect. I am Omniscient. I do not make mistakes."

    "Okay. Let's see. You are all-knowing...right?"

    "Right."

    "And because you are all-knowing you already know what/where/how my faith is in You, right?"

    "Righ--er, um. Right."

    "And here now, you are acting way too stupid to know it. Right?"

    "Um...not stupid...um, well--"

    "AND YOU WANT ME TO KILL MY SON TO PROVE SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE ALREADY WAY TOO FAMILIAR? Go fück Yourself! and get the hell outta here! AND QUIT TRYING TO FOOL US! ---AND I AIN'T BUYIN' THAT, "I AM TOO STUPID ON CONCEPTION DAY TO KNOW WHAT FAITHFUL OR FAITHLESS SOUL I AM CREATING" CRAP EITHER! C'mon son, let's go get some Hägendaas!--white-bred, jive-***, ****-faced motherfücker...."

    "You pass."

    Of course not. Not unless there was a ram caught in a thicket nearby.
