If God himself came down from the clouds and orders you to shoot your family

[Skanky Burns]

No. Simply no.

If god asked me to do that, then I would want to spend eternity away from him!

obiwan,

I understood it before. I just didn't feel like engaging in a "Why don't you believe in my particular version of God" threadjacking.

[Ben Kenobi]

Neither did I.

Didn't God tell Abraham to kill his son or something?

I would ask him for the reason, and unless he answers with a good one, I'd point behind him, saying "look over there!" and then shoot him when his back when he turned around.

That's of course assuming that God is really gullible.

Jag,

You could just confuse such a deity by repeatedly mumbling, "adumbgodsayswhat?"

Sava, you impress me with your extensive biblical knowledge. You know every last detail of the book you hold so dear.

Genesis 22:2,9-10

Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about."


The sacrifice comes somewhat later.


When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.

God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son."
Abe said, "Man, you must be putting me on."
God say "No," Abe say "What?"
God say "You can do what you want, Abe but
The next time you see me comin', you better run."
Abe say, "Where you want this killin' done?"
God said "Out on Highway 61."

All I need to know about the Bible I learned from Bob Dylan.
