Put the Weapon Down, Abraham!

Put the Weapon Down, Abraham! September 24, 2010

My students in “Faith, Doubt and Reason” have been thinking about the story of Abraham nearly sacrificing Isaac in conversation with Plato’s Euthyphro, Clifford’s “The Ethics of Belief” and other readings from this semester. And so this cartoon from The Ongoing Adventures of ASBO Jesus seemed particularly worth sharing…

It’s actually pretty much the same ending as in the Bible, except with a modern-day angel…and presumably different consequences for Abraham.
