Then should you not, in the interest of consistency, affirm that the willingness of Abraham to kill his own child was morally wrong?

I'm confused as to why you are posting to me about Abraham's "willingness" to sacrifice Isaac.

Maybe I missed the part where the staff at the abortion clinic said, "God told us to kill the child."

My post was about the Towers of Silence, which are used to dispose of bodies. My post was not about human sacrifice or murder.

Indeed!

And in the end, God never intended for Abraham to sacrifice his son. God provided a lamb. I have tried to understand the comparison too.

It just seemed odd to post an image of the Towers of Silence in specific. Zoroastrians are rarely referenced at all, despite disproportionately constructive influence on the world. Why cast them negatively?
