Would You Kill Your Only Child as a Sacrifice, If Asked By Your God? by NoContract(m): 9:16am On Oct 04, 2014
Ok, so I was going through wiki for the significance of the Eid el-Kabir and here's what I found:

Significance

-Commemoration of Ibrahim (Abraham)'s willingness to sacrifice his young first-born and only son in obedience of a command from God

-Marks the end of the annual Hajj to Mecca.

Now, I would like to ask every Christian and Moslem on Nairaland, or whoever believes or think the (attempt to) sacrifice Isaac (Isiak) in the holy books was ethical:

Would you kill/sacrifice your only child, if asked by your God, without no idea if it's a test or not? Yes or no?

Do you consider your answer morally acceptable (within the confines of religion or lack-of)?

Constructive criticism please.

Another dumb question in nairaland. People do stupid shit in the name of religion. Why would I kill my child for a God that don't exist?

Abraham did not 'see' God. He only heard 'voices' I think.

Thou shalt not kill


when abraham was taking isaac to d altar,he knew God will never let him kill his child and if he killed is child,he would provide another one for him,

You didn't answer the question. From your response, you quoted the bible, which suggests you're a christian.

Please answer the question

Which God? There's many Gods in this universe and dimension. A good God wouldn't pressure or toy hueman into evil acts. Creators only watch and wait. Throw different tasks for the spirits of the universe to become stronger.

I'll kill anybody (child, dad, mum, bro, sis, neighbor, friends etc) if dats what god wants and loves.
It's a pity my god doesn't like sacrifices, killing or even worship. Almighty FSM is a cute god.

Hmm. So if your father walks into your room one day with a knife and tells you God has commanded him to slaughter you, but not to worry, after all God will surely provide him with another son, this will console you? That's great, as for me I'll suggest he should stick that knife up his rectum. So NO, I'll certainly do no such thing, and if an angel shows up to do it for me, I may just have to execute the final move of the Batoussai tongue
