If God ordered you to kill your son, as a test of obedience, would you do it?

[shingie]

And say that no angel would come to stop you, unlike Abraham's case.
Atheists, pretend there is an almighty and all-righteous God, and there is a good reason that he can't share with you. Would you do it?

 

[Cyrus C]

i would kill my son and eat his heart if the big J or the G to the O to the D told me to

 

[Carlin Fan]

No, I'd get an MRI.

 

[Lettuce]

I don't think I could.

That's my child! I think I'd rather go to hell myself than kill my own child.

 

[Boris]

Yes, but not until the little bugger finished mowing the lawn!

 

[Exodiafinder]

If it was God then he would stop me. God only does this as a test of faith like with Abraham. He would never actually have you kill your son.

 

[Everard G]

Nah.

Morality is doing what is right no matter what you are told.
Religion is doing what you are told no matter what is right.

[The Bible]

I could not tell you. I would have to be tested then I would know if I would do it. Keep in mind that God spoke to Abraham, so it wasn't Abraham's idea to do this. Another thing is God promised that he would provide a sacrifice, so Abraham was standing on a promise when he did this. So Abraham was not lying when he told Isaac "God will provide the sacrifice".
