This is what sacrifice is all about. I suppose it is not politically correct now. The state rules the family not the father. The state makes abortion ok instead.
Guess you are here for a popularity contest. Check a couple medical books, a son - already born; alive and hopefully vibrant. Although in this case more likely to develop the psychosis if he takes after his father.
In said medical books, a fetus isn't a baby, and is not viable outside the womb even in 21 weeks. Viable look it up in a dictionary.
To add, there are so many 'most appalling acts'
The beating the infants against the rocks.....
Job is certainly bad but the all mighty blames 'the devil' for it.....
Rapes and a stoning (not in the good way)......(but only if seen)
The 'best of Leviticus'.......
The flood that never happened in Noah...Gilgamesh I know....
Sending out daughters to be raped.......
Just a few for thought.
"Religion is comparable to Childhood neurosis" Sigmond Freud
"If one wishes to form a true estimate of the full grandeur of religion, one must keep in mind what it undertakes to do for men. It gives them information about the source and origin of the universe, it assures them of protection and final happiness amid the changing vicissitudes of life, and it guides their thoughts and motions by means of precepts which are backed by the whole force of its authority."
SIGMUND FREUD, New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis
"Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires."
