God's Most Appalling Act

[Kratos]

Ok, let's cut the crap right here. The concept of sacrifice entails wilfully giving up something of personal value; the greater the value, the greater the sacrifice, with the ultimate sacrifice being that of one's own life. All this you have the right to do if that is your wish. You absolutely do not have the right to involve another person in the act. You certainly do not have the right to demand it of others against their will. Any god that is held as the standard of morality, whether such a being exists or not, ought to know this. That anyone could look at this story (and more damning ones such as that of Jephthah in Judges 11:29-39) and not see any problem tells me more about that person than they may have intended; not to say more than I wished to know.

In your trying to defend the actions of these characters by pointing to others who behave the same, I'm mindful of Col Ingersoll's wise counsel: "They knew no better, but I do not propose to follow the example of a barbarian because he was honestly a barbarian."

Finally, re: abortion. Let's say for the sake of discussion that abortion equals murder. Have you any idea how many foetuses abort spontaneously without any human or 'state' intervention? That's without even mentioning the many millions of fertilised ova that never implant and get flushed away without the woman ever being aware of it. What's all that about? Embryonic suicide?

Dosn't "might make right"? USA is sacrificing it's sons and daughters for it's Zionist cause in the raghead lands. Abraham was only going to take out one son, not drag his whole tribe to Hell. Why blame God? Abraham could have been on magic mushrooms or something. You atheists are just too hard and unforgiving. Abraham had a great sence of humour, he smashed a bunch of statues of Gods in a pagan temple but left the biggest one intact. When the pagans came and found the mess and asked him who broke the statues he pointed to the biggest one and said "he did it".
Priceless LOL.
