If you go by Abraham, passing the "test" would mean being willing to go through with it (not to mention lying to your family in the process, and they'd probably have to be tricked into buying the bullets for you...).Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui

Yeah, but everyone knows about that 'test' now! This would have to be different test.

Just using the Biblical account as an example, as Abraham lies to his kid to get him to the place for doing the sacrifice, and even makes the kid carry the woods he's going to use to burn him up!Originally posted by Japher

I think Spec is right on. No sane and rational God would do this without the intervention of drink and lots of it (and as Tom Waits, said, "There ain't no Devil, there's just God when he's drunk").
I think the problem some people are having with the premise of this thread is that we're presuming that the God in question is the God of the Christian New Testament -- that is, good, caring, loving, devoted to the welfare of all people everywhere, etc. That God would, of course, not act in the specified fashion.
But what if God's a pr!ck? What if God likes to mess with people just because he's God and he can? What if the only thing that really matters to God is obedience to God, no matter how ridiculous and destructive his whims might be? Those are more interesting questions, IMO.Last edited by Ubergeek; May 2, 2003, 17:01.Better living through tyrannyComment
