Every now and again, an image pops up on my Facebook feed that says something along the lines of...
Of course, this message is void of any critical thought as to what obedience encompasses. It would actually be hard to tell the Muslims practicing Sharia that they're distorting God's message, anymore so than you'd be able to tell a Jew that if they decided to start stoning Sabbath workers. But that's now what I'm getting at.
The sentiment behind trust and obedience is usually blindly agreed by the theistic right in this country. Ask yourself if you would obey what God commands you to do. Now ask yourself if you would follow through on his commandments when he says "Take your child, your only child, whom you love to a region I will designate and sacrifice him as a burnt offering unto Me."
This is a no-win question. Either you betray your convictions, or you obey them and everybody just views you as a murdering psychopath who hears voices in his head. Be honest, theists. You have no intention of obeying God.

Your God isn't the only god, but is one among thousands of examples. Nor are theists the only people entitled to have a view about theism — especially in a country like yours where nefarious pressure groups are intent on thrusting their theological views and theocratic ambitions down everyone else's throats. Why don't you follow the advice I gave you in another thread, and go preach your exclusivist message of Christian truth in Africa, where there will probably be people naive enough to listen to you, or alternatively, start to patronize the Christian forum and argue vociferously about the widely divergent interpretations available of Christianity and the Bible.

Jesus Christ is The God...there is no other. The other "gods" are mere idols of satanic influence.

Ignorant of what I'm trying to do? What's that? Is it suggesting that blind obedience is dangerous and that theists know it to be dangerous by positing a simple question that isn't entirely out of the realm of what God would command? Is it highlighting unjust and heinous acts that are not subjectively justifiable in a different context? Do tell. What's wrong with my question?

Blind obedience,without question.
1964 boot camp, my company commander says" Do what you are told,when you are told and keep your mouth shut".
Das Waffen SS engraved on the belt buckle " God is with us " in German.(
Gott ist mit uns)
Mindless obedience, sought by tyrants throughout history, dictators demand it of their subjects.
It is the main tool of empire builders.
Convince the subjects they do not need to think just follow orders,without questioning, do what you are told by your Superior( you are not smart enough to determine what is needed ).
Adolph Hitler
Idi Amin Dada
Joseph Stalin
Jim Jones
David Koresh
And many others who needed to control people.

Read this quote very carefully: Stephen Roberts said "I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours"

He already told Abraham to murder his child and that is an excellent example of a psychopathic theology.

Have your bombastic truth statements ever converted anyone to your point of view? If not, why exhibit those behaviours on a Religion discussion forum? Do you play the fundamentalist Christian evangelist in the street or in the workplace every day? Just interested..

Let's consider the mentality of people those days and compare them to the Mafia. In the Mafia you make an oath that the crime family comes first. If you're told to murder your own mother you have to do it. This is an organization of sociopaths and psychopaths. Tribal religion is no different. It's an organization run by megalomaniac psychopaths who may tell you to kill even your own son. Whether or not the murder was committed is immaterial. What it does is demonstrates one's loyalty to an insane leader and way of life.
Jesus is no different. Jesus says you can't follow him unless you hate your family and even yourself. Jesus was the same kind of megalomaniac psychopath that told Abraham to kill his son. It's a religion that embraces pathological mental illness. Psychopathy is a mental illness.
What this sickness reveals about followers of this asinine religion is they're ether too stupid to notice the psychopathy or they're already psychopaths who accept it. Which one is it or is it both?

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a radio personality who dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by a east coast resident. It's funny, AND informative:
Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them:
1. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19- 24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
4. Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
5. I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath.. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.
Your devoted fan, Jim.

The word "obey" carries with it a parental overtone. But I like what the British author C.S. Lewis wrote about it: "Longing transforms obedience."
A longing for right doing. A longing for justice. A longing for everlasting joy.
