Execution

[derspassvogel]

And if God had not stayed Abraham's knife? Would the story be any less true? Would not the image of Abraham stained with the blood of his own son and grasping the soiled blade be edifying? God doesn't make promises anymore.

Except this one:
"keep this one truth in mind, that a good man cannot be harmed either in life or in death and that his affairs are not neglected by the gods." That is it. That's all we get.
