I am not inspired, I certainly wouldn't kill a child of mine to demonstrate my faith in God.

I am inspired by Abraham's ability to go by faith rather than by his own understanding of things.
God's ways are not necessarily our ways. Many of the things God asks us to do are counter-intuitive. Love your enemies.... Love others as you love yourself.... these are things that do not generally occur to people on their own.
If we can go by faith and do these counter-intuitive things, our world improves vastly.

It teaches us how difficult it must have been for God the Father to sacrifice his son, Jesus Christ. It also teaches us to have faith in God.

he was willing to sacrifice his own son for God! That shows his incredible faith and trust in the LORD! God bless.

You mean the guy who almost slaughtered his kid because of voices in his head? That's sick.
Even if you believe the story true, what kind of god would perpetrate that kind of mental anguish on a person? Having your dad almost kill you has to screw you up some.

Nothing. Abraham (if he existed) was a fool.
