There is a warning about resurrecting threads that haven't had posts in 30 days.
Sacrificing anything to a deity is wrong. Abraham was a schizophrenic psychopath and would be in an institution today.
Personal Sacrifice for a firmly-held value can be a good thing. But don't expect a deity or your friends to reward you for it. Do it because you believe it is right, and your reward is in your own conscience. Lots of atheists do this. While this can be encompassed by some definitions of faith, I would not like that name.
