Is a religion based on human sacrifice moral and ethical?
#29
RE: Is a religion based on human sacrifice moral and ethical?
What has 'god' got to do with the price of beans. Your own book says that it happened. ( I, of course, regard your book as a fable so it is a pretty safe bet that none of this nonsense ever happened. )

The legal maxim is "Qui tacet consentire" [silence gives consent]. Where was your god popping out of the clouds to tell "Jeptha" that it was okay, he didn't have to barbeque his daughter? After all, you also think he played a practical joke on "Abraham" but stopped him at the last moment.

I really hate having to instruct you on your own book. Please go read the damn thing. And take your blinders off when you do.
