The story is in contrast to the scene where Satan temps Yeshua by offering him the world if he would worship him. Yeshua declined. Abraham accepted. The story is also based upon the 4th Commandment where Yahweh says that all that opens the womb is his, which means that the parents had to kill their first born or redeem them Abraham was supposedly able to redeem Isaac with a ram that he had caught in a thicket.
Later on in the fairy tale Yahweh said that the dummies should have been samrt enough no to kill the kids but they were idiots so they did.
Suppose you had to kill your son to save your wife. When you got married you took a vow to foresake all others. You never took such a vow for your son. So were you just lying when you pledged to foresake all others for your wife?
You are still ridiculous as you have ever been, if you don't understand the intentions of the marriage vows then you should just leave them out of conversations. You also must have a different version of the Bible than Christians around the world because the one we use says nothing like what you're describing about Abraham. You sir are just throwing around unfounded statements to try and prove a point and all the Christians here understand that weakness in you. You might fool some of the atheist here but I doubt you can foll all of them to many here are smart than that even if they do not want to admit it. I do think it's sad when those who know better than to believe such blatant falsehoods agree with you or others, it's just sad to see people throw away their intellect.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
