I always wondered about this bible story…

Well then. Way tp bring this modernly.

Twisted, but nicely done to make it oh-so-familiar, and then the ‘oh crap’ moment that changes it from Bible story to psychopath story. I never did like that Bible story anyway.

Thanks all: That particular story has long been a contention point for me. It is one of the core reasons I don’t believe religion, in any form, has any legitimacy.

This particular entry was inspired by a well-to-do doctor who stabbed his 9-year old to death in my city a couple months back.

Later, in court, he said he did it because “The devil was in him.”

Lunacy…

Well done. When thinking of many of the Old Testament stories I can’t help but think that Richard Dawkins said it best:
“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”

This is very well told. I love the detail of Isaac putting his hand out the window and “surfing” the wind. Very much a thing associated with innocence and children.

Abraham appears much more…psychopathic, or what’s the word….schizophrenic in this writing than I’ve ever thought of him as. I mean, hearing voices telling you to kill your son, then doing it?
You’ve given this a twist by modernizing it. Nice job.
