Are you suggesting he use his omnipotent power to force people to accept his religion? Im just trying to point out that the Bible is the most widely circulated text in the history of the world, so perhaps if the christian god is real, he mustve done a pretty good job with his instruction manual. Im not really trying to argue the merits of the story or Isaac, more the results. |
No, I'm suggesting that being omnipotent would mean he has basically limitless options on how to spread the word of his existence/power/making people fear him. Subjecting a senior citizen to an incredibly cruel test with no witnesses that served no purpose as he already knew the result. Also, telling people they should be willing to kill innocent people for him probably also not a great moral since there are some people who heard the story and still take this awfully literally.
Of course, whether or not the story got around isn't particularly relevant to whether it is either true or good. Plenty of untrue or bad things wind up becoming pretty popular.
