Dear Mr. Bob Smith,
I have time to spare and have discussions with you. I just visited your site this morning and I pay particular attention on the dilemma faced by Abraham. What I think of the situation is that Abraham did the ordeal not just because of his faith or any form of blind obedience or that of trust but more so because he believe that God is good and knows what is in his heart. If I were the child I would probably find it hard to forgive my parents or any care giver who would put my existence in extreme measures but on second thought, I would gladly accept the command if instinctively I know that it is all due to love and under the light of truth and reason. I think that God endowed us with reason and clear conscience only that the corruption is too great that many seems to be reared in the darkness of ignorance and foolish faith. A God who created us pure and of His own image does not condone that our faith in Him will kill us. The appropriation that we are His children does not promote the idea of adult children as you estimated. A test is a form of chastisement and as long as many will neglect each other and deny aid to those in need, God will still refer to us as children. Maturity is the path to moderation and infancy in the lap of a mother is where intimacy begins. God took Jesus (the sacrifice) as the atonement for all because he is ready, mature and hence, reflected the "likeness" in God. That is how universality is achieved, from the day Jesus opened his eyes, it was not stated that the truth of God's righteousness be kept in Judea alone. In this same principle, a stupid and slavish parent has no right to expect independent and strong willed children. The problem then lies in pedagogy. But then again, it is sheer idealism to promote responsible parenthood. Many have strayed. Some stole their child's innocence and in effect, damaging them deeply. Surely God sees the isolated cases among us and I think that the logical Father of all will not held them accountable for things which stained them. As I have stated before, there are victims and there are also accomplices for isn't it that in our shortcomings we encourage the devilry around us (unconciously). Nazism took place because many hailed it as the new empire, many brilliant minds supported it (even highly educated people with strong grips on logic) but it was temporary. Evil is evil and will always be temporary. God does not overlook the goodness of those who ought with courage, the lives that were taken and from there God provided the weapon. Jesus said "those who live by the sword shall die by the sword.." It is from humanity that God drew the light for isn't it that He created darkness first before the blaze and flame? the eternal globe of fire which is the sun along with all the heavenly bodies? His likeness He will never fail. From the beginning of His creation till the day He rested, He let truth and reason pour on us. I say these things because I despise the wretchedness that is until now a burden and a wound but that is something personal and which I do not wish to divulge. If God is a healer, He knows the principle of human nature and necessities.

P.S. Explain your claim that faith is ignorance.

It is both amusing and frightening to see you reason this behavior out. It just goes to show how far people will take things for that voice in their head they call God. I suppose this includes murdering families when God talks to them through a dog vessel, or crashing planes into the Twin Towers for Allah. We should all be delighted that people are doing these things for God, huh?

Your letter is a perfect example of how religion fucks with people's logic to the point where the devaluing of human life is reasonable.

Stop it.
Bob

PS. You need me to explain how faith (belief without evidence) is ignorance? It's not that hard to figure out. If I had the same faith in a Lucky Horseshoe you would understand.
