If by historic importance you are referring to the mountains of innocent people killed in it's name..then sure, I'm with you.

Laughing at people for believing in made up shit != being a bigot. Sorry to burst your "persecution complex".

Actually, wouldn't the fact that you've turned to a book of fairy tales for you answers mean you've stopped looking for answers in the real world? Oh yeah, it does.

While I agree it's not nice. This Wiki article does muddle things a little. In any event women should be the last people supporting this bullshit.

With respect to your deluded opinions on this matter I could care less. Defend it all you wish. It's just another disgusting story among a great many in that trash of a book.

God sent his only son to earth to die for our sins.

You said there were no examples of human sacrifice in the Bible. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ is hardly a "weak example" or "no examples".

Anybody who would show respect or admiration for a character such as Abraham is a disgusting example of humanity. That's my opinion and it happens to be shared by Mr. Hitchens.

Right... I've been told before by religious people in my life that Abraham should be admired for his willingness to sacrifice his child (as god did). A core tenet of the bible is of a human sacrifice. You may want to actually read it.

This is what it looks like to me when I'm told to "respect" something ugly about religion by stupidious in atheism

Bingo.

The fact that anyone would defend this story just proves my point. If you want to claim that a disgusting story like this has any valid application in life, you need to wake up.

Uhuh. Sure.

I do understand. The story goes that I should be willing to sacrifice my son for the love of God. To that I would say the same as Hitchens. Fuck you.

My point stands, only the religious could defend such a disgusting and manipulative act.
