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.[/b]
Originally posted by jaywillYou know in this day, and age when someone kills the kids because God told them to do, they are considered mentally ill. In the Bible it's a sign that God is trying to communicate in some beastly way.

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 ?

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