I don't so much think Abraham was a child abuser so much as a madman. He did ultimately decide not to sacrifice his kid.
But he just listened to those voices in his head.
But if we're to take the bible at face value and assume those voices belonged to some psychotic patriarchal deity... I think God was the real child abuser, toying with his creation's emotions for no reason other than complete CONTROL.
That is the very definition of domestic abuse.
"You have to sacrifice your son because I SAY SO! And I'll (*)(*)(*)(*) you up if you don't!"
"Ummm... but..."
"(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)! Sacrfice your kid!"
"Ummm... OK... Just... Don't hit me again."
"Oh. Okay. Well since you're doing it, how about... you don't have to. Only because I'm so (*)(*)(*)(*)ing kind. Remember that, (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)!"
"Oh you're so good to me..."
"What, (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)?! Did I ask you to talk?!"
I really don't see why people worship that guy.
Jesus was certainly an improvement. I just don't get how people think they can be the same. Did they think he went through counseling?
