Christians: What line are you unwilling to cross for God?
August 22, 2018 at 12:06 am
Is there a line you're not willing to cross for god?
Let's say, like Abraham, God came down and asked you to sacrifice your child? Would you do that for him? Or would you draw the line and say "no"
What lines are there? I mean it's easy to say that "Oh god wouldn't ask me to do that!" (He asked Abraham to do it, so I don't see why not). Would you do whatever God asked you to?
I'm sure the most common answer will be "Well, God wouldn't ask me to do something so terrible! So I'd know it wasn't god." To which I have to ask why Abraham did not think the same thing, and what therefore makes him credible in the least?

The OT "god" is a rather astonishing prick. For morons who gladly think their silly god drowned the whole fucking world what's killing one more kid?

The will not become respectable human beings even for their god, even as they claim god made them better so as to deceive others into thinking less poorly of them, which is why they are such a problem.

I don’t have kids of my own, but can I sacrifice other peoples’ Kids?

If the parents were Christian, I suppose it would be alright. But remember to pay me a sin tax for each one sacrificed.

He’s paying for my sins.

But, but, but they made it sound so amazing with cute animals so that even small children would easily think it was just a wonderful thing their loving god did.

Yeah, I find it amazing that the flood has been turned into a story of god's kindness: saving the animals!
From himself, though. That's the bit people always forget in religion.

Sort of like an ambulance driver who deliberately runs people over.
