The Importance of Blood as an Offering in Abrahamic Religions


The god of the Christian Bible orders the patriarch Abraham to kill his son Isaac and to then burn the boy's body on a stone altar as a sacrificial offering. Abraham shows his love for the god of the Bible by his willingness to kill his son.

Violence is acceptable to many within the Abrahamic traditions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam).
