Job: "Thanks for giving me back everything you took from me in that bet with Satan, but can you please bring my dead family back to life?"
God: "We haven't established that lore yet."
God: I replaced them, what's your problem?
I constantly reference Job for exactly that logic. Early Christianity saw family as property first.
And they’ll keep on circumcising their sons while unironically screaming about anyone who respects trans rights being out to surgically mutilate all children. What a world.

when one person believes a delusion, it's schizophrenia. when millions do, it's religion
True, when enough people do something it gets normalised, no matter how crazy.
They had it with opium, and we have this thing with the hard drug alcohol.
Once you start learning about some newer iterations of Christianity like Mormonism and Seventh Day Adventism, where there are actual accounts of their prophets, you do realize how these people were either really good con artists or just insane.
Why not both?
A lovely test of one's faith is whether they'll stab and burn their child on command.
By the way, if someone is constantly testing you, that's abusive. Run. Away.
Gabriel: what else could a test to see whether someone would stab and burn a child possible be!?
God: a test of obedience and faith!
Gabriel: a test to see if someone has faith in voices in his head that tell him to murder children IS A PSYCHOPATH TEST!!
God: well I'm sure there is something more psychotic than obeying murderous voices in your head
Gabriel: well, I can't think of much
omg 💀
Fun fact: Abraham goes up the mountain with his son but comes down alone, suggesting that in the original text he went through with the child sacrifice.
The Bible has tons of edits like this, it's fun to spot them—and even more so to guess the intent behind them. Often when a seemingly irrelevant detail (or an entire chapter) is inserted in the middle of a story, that's an edit (although there are also genuine errors). In general, the Bible is not as well put-together as people tend to think. In this case, whoever wrote this wanted to make clear that Judaism does not condone human sacrifice, in contrast to other contemporary religions.
Others (chiefly those who consider the text to be holy) interpret the pronoun change as indicative of an emotional separation between Abraham and his son, as if following these events they don't want to walk together any more.

I'm pretty sure it started with some chick named Mary cheating on her spouse, and then "Uh, no, it's uh, it's... MAGIC! Yeah, I got pregnant from magic! But the magic was a person you see, named uhm, looks over at pet dog, named do- uh no, g-o-d, his name was God! God gave us a magic baby! Yay!"
That's the new testament. Pretty modern and woke stuff compared to the old testament which is the common root of Abrahamic religions.

don't forget the part where she got her fiance/husband totally snookered and/or dosed with magic mushrooms or something; and then appeared to him pretending to be an angel telling him to shut the fuck up and go with it.
(or maybe she got a friend to be the angel?)
Edit: also, can we talk about how if the story is real... there was no chance that Mary could give meaningful consent?
For religion rape is a feature not a bug

Even as a child i used to hear this story and go “that’s fucked up. Why would god ask him to do that? What a psycho. And why would Abraham agree to do it?! If god is asking you to murder your own kid, maybe that god is shit”
As a fun fact, some interpretations say that by binding Isaac and being ready to proceed, Abraham failed the test, either in the eyes of God or at the very least in the eyes of the author. The second verse has God saying (JPS Contemporary Torah)
Take your son, your favored one, Isaac, whom you love […] [emphasis mine]
And after stopping him, the angel (which is identified with God) says
I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your favored one, from Me.
The description of Abraham's love for Isaac is missing, despite identical phrasing (also in Hebrew) otherwise. It's as if God (or the author) is taunting Abraham.
This also raises a concern about God's omniscience; he says "now I know that you fear God", as if he wasn't previously sure. There are many ways to resolve this, but the Bible is just very inconsistent everywhere.

Whats even funnier is that in the original (Jewish interoperation) god does this as a joke. Yes god literally makes a bet with angels over if he'll acturally go through with it. Then said angels go down to earth to attempt to sway him because they wanted to win the bet.
How exactly is the Jewish interpretation different from the Christian one? I thought the Christian Old Testament was identical to the Torah. I ask as someone who was raised Methodist.
The Torah is only the first five books of the Old Testament. Depending on what branch of Christianity you go by, the Old Testament contains 39-49 books. But that's only a small nit.
I've never heard of that particular interpretation of the Abraham story, being raised Catholic. I also can't find any sources that say that the Jews believe that the Abrahamic Covenant started as a joke between God and the angels, but then again my quick search might not have had the right keywords.

As they say, if you talk to God, that’s praying, but if God talks to you, that’s schizophrenia.
If you talk to god, you are an idiot and if he talks to you, you are a schizophrenic idiot.

I'm just wondering what kind of parents name their kid Abraham. Like "We're gonna name him after that guy. Yes, that one."
And then he grows up and frees the slaves. Go figure.
I was never raised religiously. My first exposure to the Bible was the lego comic the brick testament. It was batshit insane as a kid and it's batshit insane now

Not sacrificing his son is actually a late edit, this is known because through though they changed the text to an angel stopping him, it still preserved the original language that describes ''THEY went up the mountain'' and ''HE came down the mountain''
There’s evidence that ancient Israelites, like most other cultures in that area, practiced human sacrifice.
Elsewhere in the Bible, Jepthah sacrifices his daughter in Judges 11. No angels intervene.

Well hey, when your invisible friend says kill, you kill.
Not to mention that those same 4 billion people are convinced that it is an act of love. Their god would be abusive as fuck if it existed.
