BRIDEAN What gets me is that if the SAME storys occured in any other religion Christians would criticize them in a heart-beat. I have seen Christians criticize the Hindu god Kali for demanding animal sacrifices, yet there seems to be another commonly worshiped deity that is also known for demanding animal sacrifices. You guessed it, Yahweh. Of course Yahweh has the right to demand animal sacrifices whereas Kali doesn't. Sounds consistent to me.
