[Defending Christian child sacrifice]
Druids sacrificing children is an abomination but god asking for child sacrifices is acceptable.

It'd be interesting to try Exodus 22:29 as an argument for abortion (possibly with some circumlocution regarding the whole 'first-born' bit). I mean, God's supposed to speak in a multitude of ways, most of which are far more vague than 3x5 cards with instructions printed on them falling out of books and the like.
This is what happens when you define "good" as "anything God wants." If God isn't held to the same objective standard of "good" as everyone else, and found to be superior, he's not worth worshipping (if he/she/it even exists). Worth appeasing, possibly, but that's not the same thing.
Well, they were allowed to replace the kid, with a lamb IIRC. Less horrific, but still a complete waste.
Honestly, the Bible does say in several places that God demands the firstborns. There is a reference in Numbers to setting aside a certain number of human captives as "God's tribute."
"It's not bad when I do it!"
And I bet you call yourself Pro-Life, too, don'tcha?
Confused?
