romulus Derrida

"Ethics must be sacrificed in the name of duty". (p.226)

Abraham killing his son Issac is completely irresponsible. Stories of absolute devotion to 'God' 

is why I am an Atheist. It is completely mind boggling to me that the Bible which contains 

stories of this magical guy who is a sort of metaphysical dictator who demands blind obedience 

is even used as a guide to live ones life. The Bible is not a creditable source. Abraham is a 

character used by the church to provide an example of the perfect servant. One who can be 

compared to a trained dog. 

Ethics should never be sacrificed especially in the name of duty. To do so is not to think. It's 

allowing ignorance to flourish. Abraham lacks substance. His brain is incapable of critically 

analyzing and understanding his world. He has no heart, and his soul is covered in the blood of 

his own son. I am offended that people actually buy into this nonsense. 

In Feminist Theory we heard first hand of the mess in Congo. Rape, including infant rape is an 

epidemic that is destroying, women, families, and culture. One man was asked about if his wife 

would be raped how would he react, his answer was that it would be okay if it was for the 

country. 

By turning an eye on ethical issues, human rights are violated. I do not accept violence in the 

name of anything. I can't decide who committed the bigger crime, Abraham the murderer, or 

God the psychopath who would even suggest such an outright disturbing scheme.
