God commands child sacrifice (not Isaac story)

[Darkstar]

Shouldn't they be cursing him?

Why?

They have to wait to go to eternal paradise. Why did he make them wait when he gave everyone else around them a free pass?

Where does God condemn suicide in the bible? (B/C/V please)

"Thou shall not kill" Hamlet says something about it in the Shakespearean play of the same name.

1000 years ago there was a massive grab of power/world domination, and those people used the bible and people's ignorance of God word (Because the church" took the bible out of the hands of common people and translated it into a dead language so only they could know and meter out what they wanted the public to know.) in order sucessfully retain power for hundreds of years.

So you admit that the church is just trying to control us?

we have copies of the bible that are older than the period in which we are speaking. so how is it you figure that the bible itself becomes more or less clear?
The only thing that obscures our clarity is if we openly decide to give ourselves to the processes and interpertations of those who created the doctrines that subugated the people durning the dark ages. 'We' do this because it is much easier to villify and dismiss God so 'we' can seperate ourselves from God with in a good 'moral' feeling.

With so many interpretations of the bible being thrown around, only one can be right if the bible is infalliable. I'm not talking so much about translations as I am the author's original intent. It may have been self-evident at the time, but looking back on it 2000+ years later, there are debates over how to properly interpret certain passages.
