It's silly to hold someone in high esteem for being willing to commit atrocities while condemning other people for actually doing them.

Even the Bible says that it's BS because it says that a good tree can not produce bad fruit nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?sea...n=NKJV;CEV

So how can a good religion come from one of the most despicable people in the Bible, Abraham?

I have no doubt that some apologist will come along with an excuse freshly ripped from his own ass.

You know someone has reached the limit of their responses when they start throwing the insults . . .

I'm sure you don't insult anyone! Unless their Christian perhaps?

But, no.... I didn't insult directly. If the person is truly stupid they wouldn't know. And if they were intelligent, it wouldn't matter!

The truly "stupid" butt into others conversations, and make blind assertions.

Think oblong Jaffa Cake with the orange jam replaced by that insulation foam stuff they inject into wall cavities.

I don't know if she was christian or not, but obviously she was insane.

The trouble is that religion gives divine warrant to insanity. The imaginary voice in your head is one which must be obeyed.

Abraham never "sliced and diced" Issac.

You're right, he was only fully prepared to do it because Yahweh told him to, because that makes it better.

Actually there IS a big difference....

And if you bothered reading the story, Abraham already knew what the outcome would be.

Genesis 22:8
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
