Of course it is. Why at this point does this surprise me.
That God would ask this of someone. As a fucking test el-mao.
"Hey. Sacrifice your son." "Ok stop! Just chill man it was a test. You passed. Yes, I gave you free will, but still want you to lick my boots. Just of your own free will."
Serve me peasants.
Sounds like a god id love to meet! /S
Please do not use AI slop to try to prove any point, ever. Just go read the actual source, it's not hard.
I did did make sure it was in fact in the Bible before I "posted what AI said" so relax. Lol.
Don't tell me what pictures I can and can't post with to make a point just because you don't like AI. God you "AI bad" people are getting on my nerves the last few weeks. Go bug someone who's trying to use chatgpt sourcing to win a debate or some shit lol.
What I said wasn't false and the AI pic isn't hurting anyone except you. Sowwy.
If it was actually there then just post that. A bunch of random comments on a decrepit forum has exactly as much accuracy as LLMs do. I don't care what pictures you post, I care that you're presenting random garbage as anything meaningful.
It wasn't meant to be meaningful, you're the one whining about it.
I simply posted my opinion on Christians and their 'God'
Since you were so receptive to the first piece of advice it's also better to do a search like "story of Abraham Bible" and read it yourself than to ask a loaded question. The internet is full of content, loaded questions can get answers that are wrong.
Wait till you hear about Job.
Ohhh. So THAT'S what Trump means when he says he'll bring more Jobs to the US.
Or Lot and his wife.
Wait till you hear how he treats his kids…
Technically they raped him
Sorry, I was talking about the God-Jesus relationship, where Thanksgiving must be really awkward.
Have you ever heard of Mitchell & Webb? Something tells me you'll enjoy this sketch of theirs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7609TWnhUIU
That was a good one. I was watching the show "preacher" and they kind of did a skit of their own on it. So I had to look it up to see if it was true lol
The god of the old testament is a fucking asshole. Early christians wondered if the god that Jesus worshipped was a higher god than the one from the Torah. This line of thought was wiped out as heresy after the council of Nicea or Nicene Creed. You can verify it by reading the works of early christian apologists arguing against it.
Doesn't much seem like a thing an omniscient and omnipotent being would need to do. They would already know, right?
Rriiight
This is not me saying you're wrong because I don't think you are, but as a fun thought experiment, I know the argument for this from the theologist perspective. There's quite a lot of philosophy behind it.
Being both omniscient and omnipotent simultaneously would require a totally different perspective of time. God would need to be an observer to all that is, was and will be at once as if you were looking at a painting. But to make changes to that painting, if you will, God would need to enter time to interact with the people of his creation to make things so.
You have this sort of chicken and egg situation as a result. While God theoretically knows Abraham is faithful, he knows Abraham is faithful through the trials of Abraham which God would have had to perform to know what he knows. So in effect, God knows the result of these actions before hand, but the actions still must occur, otherwise God would not know.
I don't have time or the memory to drive deeper into this discussion but I remember this was a very long discussion I had during my theology studies before I left the church.
Theology is a fun kind of philosophy to learn about, especially while learning about philosophy more generally. It's like a philosopher with a loaded gun pointed at their head trying to do philosophy, or just philosophy that works backwards from a conclusion. It's fascinating how creative the arguments get.
Wait until you hear about circumcision
Something is funky with religions coming from that area (see Islam, Christianity, Judaism, etc).
When your God asks you to kill people you care deeply about or to kill non-believers, you're God is a prick who can go fuck themselves.
And if you're about to murder your own son because "the fever dream slapped so good", you can go fuck yourself as well.
God said to Abraham 'Kill me a son'
Abe said 'Man you must be putting me on'
God said 'No'
Abe said 'What'
God said 'You can do what you want Abe, but the next time you see me comin you better run'
