As I've often mentioned, one prerequisite for acceptance into the fundy club is a lack of empathy for others. In some circles it's called sociopathy.

In others, Calvinism.

Of course I have empathy. But we need to realize that truth is not dependent upon emotion. If you can't separate emotion from truth, you will have a difficult time in life.

Yea, laying on a stack of wood watch dad readying a knife to kill you is no way torturous.

If you knew anything at all about truth, your posts might be worth reading for other than pointing out their flaws.

pot....meet the kettle.

You're as rude and crass about your opinions supposedly being truth as anyone. You continuously hound people and insult us about things you don't have a clue about.

But hey...that's how you and your side rolls....anyone that disagrees with you, you say is dumb, or mentally ill.

To Abraham and Isaac, apparently not. But I don't know anyone with Abraham's faith.

Isaac was a grown adult man (not a little child) and knew exactly what was happening and willingly participated. He could have left. However he did not.
