If God told you to kill your child would you do it ? Abraham was put in that position. What kind of God would ask for such a thing ?
I mean these criticisms are so absolutely original, I really think you should do more to promote them.

Like in a court room, now that you brought it up, just who was Cain's wife?

In this day and age, if such an instruction came in my head, I honestly do not know how to react. I will ofcoarse not kill my child but will wonder why I have gotten such a thought. It is very scary but I trust God, and that is all that matters to me.

Originally posted by NickstenThat kind of test is not very nice. It seems like a big bully testing his subjects with the most insane request. How come this kind of obvious BS passes for logical religious thought ?

If you are expecting me to say "You took the words right out of my mouth" don't hold your breath.
You couldn't stick to ONE subject all the way through.
You're the type that loves to bring up his problem with the Bible. But if we start to address it you quickly JUMP to another problem over here or over there.
This is the grasshopper skeptic. I notice that as soon as someone tries to follow through on any discussion with your objections, you jump to another one.
Guys like this are impossible to have a serious discussion with on the Bible. I'd like to see you stick with one objection through without the jump - "But I have this OTHER problem over here too. You See??"
