This is good, and bears continual repeating. At bottom, all the patriarchal
monotheists faiths have common psychological features, and need to be
thought of as equally anachronistic artifacts of male dominance.

Judasim too. Actually, it's worse than that: God directed Abraham himself to

Christianity is a faith in which God sends his son

Kierkegaard, however, thought the story of Abraham and Isaac was the best
metaphor for Christian faith.
