Open to all-would you sacrifice your child if god told you to?

[Esquilax]

What proof do you have that Issac was mentally scared, the scriptures showed he trusted God and Abraham.

Well gee, if your dad took you as a child and was about to kill you in the name of god, that wouldn't be even a little bit frightening to you?

I don't have proof beyond the simple logic of the scenario, because I don't think the story actually took place, but if you were willing to look beyond your presuppositions and actually think about how human beings react to things, you'd understand.

Unfortunately, stripping away your own biases is just something you don't do, is it?

The only dodgy things going on here are the atheist dodging reality, to try and make up some kind of big deal out of a hypothetical, which has nothing to do with real life.

Don't you think the story actually happened?

What you're basically saying with your "god wouldn't say that!" dodge is that you'd fail the Abraham test if god tried it on you today. And I read before your nonsense "oh, Abraham knew what god was doing ahead of time" crap, and I'd certainly like to know where that is present in the text, but more importantly, how does the parable actually work, if that's true? The whole story is about having faith in god even to the point of sacrificing something precious to him; how does that story even function if, as you claim, Abraham had some idea of what was going on before he went ahead with it?

You're undercutting the central premise of the narrative.
