It's the only thing I've ever advertised, and I'm proud to do so knowing that it will very likely truly save someone's ass someday. Maybe yours. —————————————— A god could, instead, choose to give rewards for doing... you know, .... things that improve the world. I'm trying to think of what, about this story, would impress a modern-day courtroom that Abraham was a stable, balanced member of society that deserved rewards for his actions. Obviously - none in the civilized world ever would. Does that mean that "civilization" is completely immoral? We would put anybody who fully obeyed the god of the bible in prison. What. Does. That. Tell. You? As I ask in the video - if agreeing to stab and burn your own child is a test of righteousness, then WTF would a test of psychopathy look like? Why do people look to the bible for righteousness? IT'S GOT THE WHOLE THING COMPLETELY FUCKING BACKWARDS! ________________________________________________ There's a typo in the footnote at 6:09. I've quoted Psalm 143:13, but I meant verse 17; "The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works." ________________________________________________ ——————————————— website and blog: http://www.nonstampcollector.com twitter:   / nonstampnsc   ——————————————---
