Atheists are mentally ill

[Angrboda]

The point of the story as far I know was that God isn't like the other pagan gods who occasionally demanded human sacrifice. He didn't kill him after all. Prophets are individuals chosen by God to bring his message to his chosen people.

Nice wording there...
It's a story, just a story.
A story in which people claim that this one man had direct contact with a god. This god asked him directly to kill his own son.
Looks a lot like those other pagan gods demanding human sacrifice.
Oh, in the end the god of the story told the guy to stop, because it was enough for the man to show he would obey, no matter what.
Sort of like soldiers have to obey their commanding officers...

Now, this man was obeying an incorporeal being... That is so reassuring in what concerns his mental state.

Prophets... to me, they all sound like con artists, even though... some of them may be actually convinced of the BS they're spouting... these are the deluded ones, perhaps a delusion brought on by some psychological abnormality.... we are only far too aware of all the complexity of the human brain and how a small fault can yield strange results.

It is not inconceivable that Abraham was delusional, or a liar.... both options sound much more likely than accepting the claim that he actually talked with a god who asked him to kill his own son.
The same reasoning can be applied to any other prophet.

"I can't come to work today. The voices told me to stay home and clean the guns."


Another typical cherry picking Christian.

"Those parts of the bible that agree with me, those you should take literally. Those parts that disagree with me? Those are just metaphors for something else."
