It Was Good Enough for Abraham

When God tells people to do good things, or to give money to Benny Hinn, or to pursue the faithful life, few people raise the issue of the sanity of the person hearing said voice.

But when something like this happens, suddenly it's all about how crazy the poor woman must be, and how "our God" would never tell someone to kill their children.

Except when he does.*

* And nevermind the attention-starved mentality of a god that would require such a test.

** Oh, and I think anyone who thinks God talks to them - good or bad - is a slice of bacon short for a BLT.
