This is not new and has been going on for millennia. Wasn't it Isaac who was willing to sacrifice his son for a "loving" God?

At the end of WWII Joseph Goebbles and his wife, Magda poisoned their 6 children and then committed suicide rather than allowing themselves to become victims of the heathen allies. They were staunch Catholics. Remember, he was the minister of propaganda. When one puts out lies eventually one comes to believe them. This is a real force behind Fox news and the Republican party and, too often, liberals.

I think of that result every time I see a gold cross hanging around any human neck every time I see a hangman noose the complete evil of xian cannibalism drinking Jeebush blood and eating Jesua Nasoret skin alleged to be inside grape juice and crackers. ....Abraham taking a knife to the theat of Issac under delusional belief YHWH told him to slit his only child's throat. ...more lovely infallible truth from BIBLE LAND

yeah....well....murder is murder, you know.

The insanity that religion breeds.

That's horrible and sad.
