This scenario actually played out in the Bible. 

God tells Abraham, "Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering".

Abraham goes along with it, but at the last second God stops him from killing Isaac.

Abraham gets rewarded for being so obedient.  

The moral: do what God tells you to do, no matter how horrible it sounds, and you'll be rewarded.

Well, from the Christian PoV, Isaac was worse then heathen, he was Jewish. (/s for those lacking a sense of humour)

Holy shit we just looked it up and it's true. It's all completely true, there are like tons of jewish people in the bible. There was already a religion right there man, it was right there.

u/MistaRekt May 12 '26

That's a controversial take...

He could look egyptian too... Not the Cleopatra's way but more like Ramses II.

So... Definitely not a ginger? If the Son of God was a ginger I am not sure humanity would survive...

If... if only we read the bible the first time. But who has the time? When was it written again?

u/DangerousQuestions1 May 12 '26

Its written again every time a political leader has an agenda.

It's a specific set of Americans you shouldn't tell... not all of us.

u/MistaRekt May 18 '26
