Ethics and Religion

Do all parts of both Part A and Part B for full credit. You MUST have an introductory and a concluding paragraph. Part A: Abraham is the archetype for Jews, Christians, and Muslims. After reading and reflecting upon Genesis 22 and ″Abraham as Prometheus″ comment upon the following questions: Does religious behavior require immoral behavior such as child marriage, child sacrifice, murder, incest, assassination, suicide bombing or genocide? Is morality independent of God′s commands? A test? God knows the exam result before the test is administered. Thus, why any test? Part B: Abraham of Genesis 22 is a man of obedience. Abraham as Prometheus is a man of morality. Which one is a better role model for us today? Should we emulate the virtue of obedience desired by Hilter, Stalin, and Mao or should we emulate the virtue of disobedience similar to John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and Maclam X? Please do not write about the Greek god Prometheus and his rebellion against Zeus, and how he was punished by Zeus. This tells me you have not read Abraham as Prometheus. If so, you will not receive anything above a 60% for your work. You must show three differences between Abraham as Obedience and Abraham as Prometheus for full credit. ………………………………To assist you in your thoughts, you might want to review the following movie: The movie Frailty, a 2002 thriller, directed by and starring Bill Paxton, and co-starring Matthew McConaughey, focuses on the toxic relationship between two young boys and their father, who believe that he has been commanded by God to kill demons. This movie may be helpful in understanding commands or misunderstanding commands from God. This movie is deeply ambiguous. Therefore, do not be deceived by the conclusion of the move. For example, they do their work (killing) in the dark. If it was God′s work, wouldn′t it be done in the light of day? The sheriff′s murder was of a human and not a demon.
