Lol, you didn't think I had the 1 million in there for show did you? I'd be interested in what offers the neocons put up!
Damir: >no it is not: "god" wasn't just telling abraham to do >that, "he" was telling *everyone* in those days to >do that. Ok, Damir. Here's the challenge. Please find me in Genesis (which will satisify the "in those days" criteria) where god tells *everyone* to kill a son. I'll be waiting. JB

I think you might have him there, JB. Meanwhile.....In other news.....Little George's "Vietnam" is raging today. Wonder how many of our guys he's gotten killed today? And, really, for what? As soon as we leave, this place explodes!! Again.....Do it RIGHT or get home!!! O.K......You whining liberals and ET U.S.A. haters, let's hear it!!!
The US administration is also underscoring that even after the handover in Iraq, US troops will continue a strong presence in the country.
'fraid not. nothing more dangerous than a man of one book - especially if it's THE book, right? the evidence for commonplace sacrificing of children is extensive and - most importantly - extra-scriptural. that golden calf they built in the desert? yep, that belonged to the one asking for the blood sacrifices. but hey, if you get something of value from the story that's different from what i get, it's ok with me! back to the markets: when is TradeSports going to open a contract on who gets killed first, Musharaf or Osama?
Ahhh...the cop-out arrives... Damir: >the evidence for commonplace sacrificing of children >is extensive and - most importantly - extra-scriptural. Your assertion and my question WAS NOT whether sacrificing of children was common or uncommon...this is just a dodge on your part. You asserted: >"god" wasn't just telling abraham to do that, "he" >was telling *everyone* in those days to do that. Please produce the evidence that supports this statement. Nice try. Still waiting.
