The birth and binding of Isaac were up today. The latter made a big impression on J. I gave him the standard interpretation, that God did not really intend Isaac's sacrifice, that he was just testing Abraham's faith.
I also told him that if I heard a voice claiming to be God and demanding that I sacrifice my only son, I would tell that voice to get lost. J laughed at that.
We discussed some images as well:
I also noted to J how Muslims have the same story but that they tell it with Ismael in place of Isaac.
