Alan: "Psst, Abraham. Yaweh here. Prove that you love me. Slit your son's throat."

Get parents to kill their kids "for God sake's" and you can get them to do anything.

One year after Easter mass, my mother -- an extremely devout Catholic -- 

said, "I don't believe God would ask Abraham to kill his son."

Go Mom!
