Come on. You've got to go far beyond a simple difference in time periods to reconcile the account of the creation with literal history. Ditto for the flood. Claiming that these accounts are simply a result of "translation error" is disingenuous.

I have no problem with you believing that our God would traumatize a man by telling him to kill his own son, as long as you wouldn't be rude to someone over it.

Why is it any more unreasonable for a God to ask a man to kill his own son (with the intent of never actually letting him do it) than to ask a group of Saints to cross the plains in a trek that would kill hundreds or even thousands?

It was fanaticism--and they were innocent victims of their own fanaticism as well as the fanaticism of others, who should have known better. Can't you see how Old Testament fanaticism and modern fanaticism are equally harmful and silly?

This really piques my curiosity, Sooner. Does God tell you to excise every scripture that associates his commandments with pain?
