[QUOTE=Sarahfeena]  
I understood your point, but what point was it that you think **Guin** was trying to make?  
[/QUOTE]

That she (?) was accusing me of religious bigotry, which I do not deny. I am **proud** to be an anti-Yahvist religious bigot, for reasons I have already explained. The Yahvist religions do have some practical value, but no **spiritual** value. What true spiritual value might be I do not claim to know, but I **know** it has nothing to do with Yahvism.

Madeleine L’Engle writes interestingly about that very point in one of her non-fiction books. A student wrote a short story about Abraham and Isaac from the point of view of an angel, congratulating God.

God says, “You don’t understand. He _failed_ the test. He chose law over love.”

Sorry. Carry on.
