Even at my most religious I was never able to accept the Isaac sacrifice. It always evoked a deeply visceral disgust, and reflected on my feelings towards Abraham. https://twitter.com/JosephNollaSJ/status/1328742913535303683 …

That’s *exactly* what I did, the story disturbed me so much. My parents said something like that, and added that even if I died somehow, I would go straight to heaven as an innocent, so it would actually be a blessing.... It was a hard pill to swallow.

If God can't make himself understood to mere mortals then then is he really a God?

Oh wow. For some reason I never saw myself in the position of Isaac, but that's a really good question to ask your parents. I can't imagine trying to answer it. But I do remember being assured that God doesn't do that sort of thing anymore

My dad actually had a pretty good response: he said that Jesus was the final sacrifice, so we could KNOW that any voice demanding another was not from God. (I never thought to ask the hypothetical follow up “but what if you somehow knew it was from God?)
