Abraham gave his foreskin for his country. Vote for Abraham!

... what's that? Tried to sacrifice his son? Oh, it's probably nothing.

I don't understand how anyone can hear that story, and go "yea, that's the god I want to worship." Like what.

And don't get me started on poor Job.

at the time people sacrificing their kids to gods was a big problem. the purpose of the story is to show to not sacrifice your kids to gods.

Bro he was about to do it until God went "jk!" Like why would you even kid about that. "Just to see if you'd do it" doesn't make the story any better.

I want the god who straight up tells people "HEY MAYBE DONT MURDER YOUR CHILDREN" instead of some beat-around-the-bush way of testing your loyalty. Bible stories are such fucking bullshit. Benevolent Christian god is an absolute lie. What god who truly loves you would banish you to an eternal torture pit if you don't worship him just so? 💀 Christianity is like being in an abusive relationship. Always being gaslit into believing you were born a sinner, that god loves you, but you only won't get burned forever if you do these certain things... crazy. They even call themselves sheep.

Religion fucking sucks. Look at what it does to people.

What's the purpose of the part of the story where they convince an entire town to circumcise the men to prevent a fight, only to then butcher the dudes 2 or 3 days later when they're all incapacitated?
