Alan: The biblical patriarch Abraham -- the common founder of Judaism, Christianity and Islam -- is revered by all three religions chiefly for his willingness to kill his son because Yahweh/God told him to.
I -- like my devout Catholic mother -- believe that God would never command a parent to murder an innocent child and that the patriarch Abraham was "hearing voices" as the result of a psychotic breakdown.
The implications of this willingness to mistake psychosis for religious experience -- an error that lies at the heart of all three Abrahamic religions -- are explored below.
