God kills a child for the sin of the father

[Wyrd of Gawd]

The funny thing is that everyone continues to make the same basic mistake, which is thinking that the God character is a real invisible celestial being. In reality, the God character as depicted in the Old Testament stories was just a series of Assyrian/Babylonian Emperors who ruled the Middle East for centuries. The Israelite/Hebrew/Jewish kings were just their flunkies. Once you understand that then you can appreciate the fairy tales for what they are. The God character died when the last Babylonian Emperor died with the collapse of the Babylonian Empire. He isn't coming back.
