I was studying Hebrews 11 today which praises people of faith. Verses 17-19 of that chapter lauds Abraham's obedience to God as Abraham was ready to murder his own son Isaac. (The original grotesque tale appears in Genesis 22.)
Would you murder your own son if God asked you to?
Yes--Well, this answer speaks for itself.
No--Then you admit that your religion is immoral.
I think I have faith of my own that none of the Christians here will give a straight, honest answer to this question. You will stonewall and do everything you can to divert attention away from this issue. You know that your religion is immoral but will never admit it.
Would you sacrifice your own son like Abraham was ready to

ISIS, no, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, yes they were and are not real. Nor are arks and floods, or giants or people turning into salt, or any of the other things stolen from other peoples' fairy tales and inserted into the HaTorah, to make it up entirely.

I will never understand how someone who claims to know the ultimate truth, of God, believes they deserve respect, when they cannot distinguish it from a fairy-tale.
You know, science and logic are hard: Religion and fairy tales might be more your speed.
To continue to argue for the Hebrew invention of God is actually an insult to the very concept of a God. - Divine Insight

But I understand that those unreal people, things, and events are emotionally healthy to believe in.Willum wrote: [Replying to post 120 by bluethread]

Your argument was that in any "real situation" human sacrifice would be stopped. Admittedly ISIS was off the top of my head and a bit of a stretch. How about the Aztecs? Was theirs a "real situation"?Willum wrote: [Replying to post 120 by bluethread]
