Abraham killing his kid

First of all I apologize for not updating my blog in a while. I am sure the two people who regularly read it have been upset. Sorry.

Second I am watching Meet the Press Right now and former disgrace Newt Gingrich is on the program advocating whatever the fuck the republican party is trying to advocate right now. really if you hang on his every word and think he is the greatest genius of all time you should probably find a knife and stab yourself with it because you are beyond hope. That guy is a fucking hack. And if you don't believe me ask his first two wives he got divorced from. Of course it is all right now because he is catholic (and please David Grogory you are not running for Miss America but you are hosting a political talk show do not be afraid to be an asshole to the people on your show I am ashamed that my roommate told you that we were a big fan of you in the gift shop at the Washington Nationals opening day game two years ago).

No but the point of this post is how according to the bible God told Abraham to kill his kid. Of course this was according to the Old Testament where God was just killing motherfuckers left and right if they did not have a boat but come on. This makes no sense to me.

Most people love the bible and take it as some sort of truth. I am not going to argue against that because that is for another day. Yeah but most biblical scholars and the people who go to church twice a year love the story where God told Abraham that he had to kill his kid to honor God for some sort of reason (I went to CCD when I was kid basically because my mom made me go and if I remember correctly Abraham fucked some chick that was not his wife, got her pregnant and made her and his real first born kid move the fuck out. If I am wrong about that blame the old married couple who told me that and not me). And I must admit I am probably getting this wrong since I am basing it off of a shitty Hannah Barbara cartoon that they made us watch back in the day.



Yeah but to get back to my main point was that God supposedly told Abraham that he had to kill his first son for some reason. Really why did God want him to kill his kid? Did he stay up past his bed time? Did he watch the movie Species? That movie had adult situations in it.

Yeah I know before Abraham plunged the knife into his kids chest God told him to stop. In current time situation we call that dues ex machina or an episode of 24. I mean that is some hard core shit right there. I am just saying the people who are against abortion in any form you can think of totally love this story of Abraham listening to his God and killing his kid. It makes no sense to me. How can the people who think the most egregious sin that can ever be done which is killing baby fetuses think that one of the greatest stories in the Old Testament involves the possible killing of a kid who is not a baby fetus?

I don't know. That probably made no sense since I have been drinking a lot of Rum tonight and still have some sort of Euphoria high since the Cleavland Caveliers lost to the Orlando Magic tonight. I am not trying to start anything I am just saying I don't understand it. can someone please answer me?
