    Sacrifice of Issac Parable Not Approriate for Children

    Is the statement "Truth be told, it's a horrible story that I'm not and never was particularly fond of, even when I was in Sunday School" really true? I wasn't exposed to this story in Church until I was a teenager. It seems age inappropriate for children, as much of the OT is especially without insight into the historical intended audience. Child sacrifice was a normal part of ancient culture. Wiki search Child Sacrifice. The story didn't offend the ancient ears that heard it, in fact they were excited because this God (the Hebrew one) didn't expect them to murder their own children for him. I agree with Apple's decision to removing it from the app store. Not appropriate for children, I'm sorry if you were exposed to at an age to young to understand its merits in full historical context.
