I want to point out the irony of the frantic replies of the Christians in this thread. If they were consistent, they should have no problem with child sacrifice being commanded in the bible, since they already see no problem with God commanding the Israelites to slaughter innocent women and children in battle. Really, their argument should be "So what?"
What's that? Do you think they might be getting their sense of morality from somewhere other than God? Nah, couldn't be!
