He's God, so....my feelings really are irrelevant.

Do you like the fact that if you step off a tall building you'll hit the ground going fast? Regardless of whether or not it's true...do you LIKE that? Do you not wish you could fly? I do.

Heck...I wish I was skinny, or that I didn't wear glasses, or that I could hit a 99 mph fastball....but what I wish for and what is reality are irrelevant.

So you’re one of those guys who would slice the throat of your child’s without question if god told you to, correct?

Now you're putting words in my mouth. No. I never said that human beings had any right to do anything remotely close to that, and I take it as an offense to have you make such an idiotic, sadistic, twisted statement. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Don't try to backtrack. You made a horrible statement suggesting that I would shoot my own kid based on some delusion. That is sick. You are a sick sick individual.

What?

Perhaps in your perspective of reality, but, please, don't impose YOUR perspective on those of us who are rational and do not believe in bronzed aged fairy tales. If you like governments who think a god rules supreme, you might like Iran or Saudi Arabia. You know, the descendants of Ishmael, Abraham's first born. Not the one who Abraham was conned into thinking, that other guy, Isaac, whose whole descendants and their story was based on a lie.

A lie that millions still believe in. Bronze Aged fairy tales, remember?

But Abraham was a good man for proceeding to do exactly that, kill his own son?

The fact that you would not kill your own son if god told you shows you are more moral than your god. Good to see!
