The one where the god commands a follower to kill his son to prove his loyalty, then goes “jk just a test” just before the follower goes through with it. Loyalty tests like this are a classic manipulator tactic, and how TF is this supposed to convince people to follow this god?
There are rabbinic writings claiming that Abraham actually did kill Isaac, just not the full sacrifice. Apparently the type of sacrifice that would have been done includes plunging a knife into the heart of the sacrificial animal while its burning. Abraham was already at the last step which means Isaacs body was on fire.
Also only Abraham returns from the mountain. Isaac isn’t mentioned.
The Rabbinic writings claim Isaac was revived though. I think they brought his ashes to the Temple, and God reconstituted him. I need to find the reference.

Damn, that’s even worse.
