VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Toby|DATE|1369904795|CONTENT|The &quot;my Jewish friend explained to me that the story about God putting a stop to the sacrifice of Isaac by his father Abraham is a way of stopping all human sacrifice - and showing how civilised the Jedeo-Christian tradition is compared to other Pagan religions&quot; got of me.

Apart from being a convoluted way of doing it (couldn&#039;t God have just put it in one of those Commandments of his?) there are plenty of places in the Bible where God is quite keen on human sacrifice. Try Exodus 22:29 - &quot;Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.&quot;
