Yet another example of how religion can bring good people to do terrible things. No. I'm not a barbarian or a neanderthal. Any god that asked me to do that can burn in the same hell I will be sentenced to for disobeying.

Never. I cannot think of one single instance where any fact about a hypothetically existing deity could make me willingly kill my own child.

I would say FUCK OFF unless he provided me with many cougars and a cure to my putting woes. ;)

Nope.

I would just yell in his face, "I not a stupihoe! You a stupihoe, filicidal whore!"

No, definitely not.

So this is the religion thing again. OK, I will never sacrifice my own child. Let's see why not.

To start with, what is the exact definition of 'God'? The mankind does not know whether God really exists or not. Furthermore, we have so many religions here in Earth; Muslim, Catholic, Buddism, Hinduism and et cetra. Who is God, anyway? How can I know the man asking me to sacrifice my child is a God or not?

This is the second reason. What is the definition of 'sacrifice'? I mean, this God (although I do not know whether he really exists) asks me to sacrifice my lovely child. I do not know what for. For the good of the mankind? Maybe not. I do not want my child to be dead just for some trick.

Umm, no, because i don't listen to the voices in my head :L Why would a God want me to do that, to see if i really do worship him, well then in that case.. No! I would rather my son have a long fulfilling life on earth rather to be cut open because of his fathers superstitions. What kind of a person cares more about them self than their son?! A mentally ill person ( the majority of the people on the opposite column.) So let me just make it clear to everyone else. The people who said yes, would willing kill their own child just to get a place in heaven. You just think about that!

If God asked me anything, I would right away go to a psychiatric hospital. I don't believe that God exists, but even if He does, He gives no crap to the human kind.

It's not that I'm opposed to making sacrifices for the greater good. It's that if I audible heard God speaking to me, my first step would be to call a psychiatrist, look into a shot of Thorazine or something. I've heard devout fundamentalist tell me before that they hear God speaking to them. Of course, that's different than saying "okay, I gotta feeling."

Personally, those people scare the pa-jesus out of me. When you get to the point that you're hearing voices in your head, or coming out of the burning bush, or from the dog's mouth, you have REAL problems. And you need to get help. I say that in all seriousness. Because a lot of people apparently think that God really IS talking to them. And we usually end up seeing them on the evening news, after God told them to something crazy, like killing their kid.

I know the question is based on Abraham and Isaac. And it's little things like that which cause me to disbelieve the God of the Bible, because why would any God worth following ask someone to do something which is wrong. What is not wrong when God ask you to do it? It's ridiculous.

No since that, imo, isn't a loving act meaning that he isn't benevolent meaning in my books he ain't a god to me......

Um.. I don't usually swear when putting across my perspective but.. FUCK NO.

There are perhaps some situations in which killing would be justified. For example, people who have committed atrocious crimes like Osama bin Laden or Sadam Hussein. But to kill a child who has done absolutely nothing? No one can justify such a thing, not even God.

There is no situation in which an innocent child could justifiably be killed. Not even if God commands it.

Maybe God is all powerful, but if he is going to command people to do evil things, then I do not wish to worship such an evil deity.
