To my point ... I wonder why any (sane) person is significantly bothered by the Abraham/Isaac story, on a personal level. Abraham was one of the greatest prophets in the history of the world, revered by 3 great religions alike, the father of billions, a man who has received his exaltation.

Does anyone here seriously believe God might ask them to sacrifice what he did? Some of you can barely make it to 3 hours of church.

I'd like to see some hard stats supporting your "high percentage" thesis.
