since this is the state of Christianity today I cry a little inside.
Think of the mental trauma Abrahams kid went thru. I sure would love God for testing my dad with my life!!

No. I would have lots of kids and train them to wage holy war on God and kill the bum!

God didn't require a child sacrifice. and no i wouldn't because He wouldn't. He provided His own sacrifice in place of Abrahams child.

God does require this and resurrection is assured.
You have to give up your "childishness," your learned ego. Only then will you experience eternal "aliveness" or full consciousness and bliss.
It's a damn metaphor!

Sacrifice in the bible is not literal, it is allegory. Of course that doesn't explain what God did to his only begotten son, but the bible is full of paradoxes.

Killing your child, accepting the existence of predation, disease, child rape, deformity, and all the other evils in the world as part of God's "big plan".....with gods like that, who need 'em.

A pre-atheist in the making.
Non-atheists have to do EXACTLY as their god says or else spend the rest of eternity in hell.

Absolutely not. Any "god" that "tests" my faith by trying to make me kill my child/ren is NOT god.
