God told Abraham that Abraham would be a father of many nations and that his wife Sarah would bear him a child even though they were very old. Indeed, Sarah was 90, and Abraham was around 100 when Isaac was finally born to them. Then God told Abraham to do the unthinkable, to kill Isaac (Genesis 22:1-19). Upon receiving the order, Abraham did not question God. He “blindly” followed God’s orders and traveled quite a distance to a mountain with the intention of killing his son. In the end, God stopped him and said, “Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son” (Genesis 22:12).
Abraham also knew that God was his own father... why not trust Him?
All I can say is archidhia !! I believe in Father Christmas and so do many many millions of children.
I have yet to encounter a theologian that could explain the horrific murders as described in the fairy tales of Exodus. All fucking scared, just as you are in challenging the virus that afflicts religious people.
