If God made himself known to you one day and said, "You must sacrifice the life of your child for me" what would you do?

You have been convinced this is God telling you this.

I'd say, "Aren't you gonna say hi?"

1

I'd stop smoking pot.

If God was real I would start shooting heroin

1

I'd ask him to at least say Hi.
I'm not a beleiver that he even existed.
Godless ßless.

I would know it wasn't God. Now, Satan...maybe. LOL

1

No way! No so called god would ever do anythIng remotely lIke that!

3

I'd probably chat him up a bit. Convince him to change the running water in my apartment to running wine?, and then tell him no ?about the whole killing the kid ?thing.

5

I would tell him to fuck off!

I think in the actual story wasnt he only trying it on to see how much he was loved -( very insecure god this one )

But wouldn't THAT be a really WEIRD thing to ask for,regardless of whether the god actually intended to allow the Dad to do it?

@DonDixon absolutely! totally bonkers too.

2

Apart from the fact that no child of mine is & no god of mine is either? should he still dare to show himself, making murderous demands - i'd kill him.

Me to

when i was little, its those parts that made me question the bible, i remember thinking it was sad that all those other children had parents that loved someone, imaginary or not, more than them. as an adult, the idea of anyone being put before my kiddos is just laughable. you know, in an, im crazy and ill snap your tiny god neck if you touch my kids, kinda way...that kind of laughable

"Fuck off."

How about go teach your grandmother to suck eggs? I know you'll get that one, not sure if anyone else would?

@SpikeTalon, did he create his own egg-sucking grannie?

4

I would say, "Go ahead and damn me then. Leave my child out of this."

2

Call him an immoral thug.

I would throw the knife at him.

@Stacey48. Stacey, It is tragic for me to say such a thing. But At one time I might of considered to even do what god asks. I was brainwashed and in fear. I watched those demon movies on TV and was told that this was a documented event. I believed this shit. It controlled me more from fear then a loving god. This loving god was suppose to protect the inacent and keep bad things from happening. I noticed nothing like this was happening. I read up on how man was using god to get what they wanted. I came across James Randi on utube and my whole attitude changed. I am so angry and I would feel comfortable slapping a preacher across the head if he confronted me with bullshit from the bible. I've learned that there's no ghosts, spirits, devels, demons, and a fucking god.

@Stacey48 Stacey, I'm angry that humanity still believes and allows this stuff to happen to people. It's ok to scam me out of my money and abuse my kids with this crap. Yep... I'm angry sometimes. Yes... it was an interesting time in my life too.

Bounce his face off of a rock.

LMFAO seriously I'm laughing so hard my gut hurts.

2

I'd be like, so you really are the asshole your believers make you out to be. Well, we've been estranged for most of my life so I'm used to it. I have nothing to gain from obeying or worshipping you because you are abusive. See ya!

Everyone is making me laugh so hard at their responses. You are too funny.

@Rangepainter lolz!!!

1

It ain't gonna happen. But, if it did, my answer would be "hell,no!

2

Its a bad dream. I would simply wake myself up and it would go away. Too bad millions want to live in that semi comatose state.

1

Flip the double bird and walk away.

LAMO.

2

I dunno. I'm trying to make this work in my head. So god appeared and in one day convinced me he was god, and that I should kill my child? I think I'd be hung up on how he'd convince me which I'm hoping would take more than one day, so we wouldn't ever get to the test (since I'm not gonna ever believe).

So if a period of time started in which I was having thoughts that god existed and was talking to me, I'd be like @VictoriaNotes and get myself to a neurologist. So again we wouldn't get very far.

So, really, not an issue for me.

2

It would be time to check myself into a mental institution.

My response would be one that should not like to repeat in polite company.
Abraham was a dangerous psychopath, and a God who would do that to someone so obviously mad, and then back down at the last minute for sh!ts and giggles is one evil sick messed up excremental ahole.

or maybe

3

I'd simply tell it that any being that wanted my child to be murdered by me is not a being that is fit to worship.

Being convinced you hear God's voice in you head is a sign of schizophrenia. Interesting point - how many Bible stories are really about mental health issues?

jeffy Level 7 Apr 9, 2018

All of them pretty much.

Yeah, a lot of them I think. The rest were made up by people who wanted power and control so they brainwashed the masses. They also mandated that god came before anything ... like that thing that there's three of you in marriage: you, your spouse, and god.

Tell him to Fuck off.

There is nothing like being succinct, and that was nothing like being succinct 🙂
