SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR:  http://www.harrys.com (promo code: thinkingatheist)Today's show is, simply, a reading of the biblical story of Abraham and Isaac.  However, author Ed Suominen has fleshed out the story in alarming detail...and he has added a bizarre twist to the tale.How do most people feel about Abraham's deed (or "almost deed")?  His faith?  His character?  And after they hear this version of the Old Testament account, will they feel any differently?No calls.  No headlines.  Nothing but the text, the storyteller, and a fresh journey into one of the Bible's most popular books.Ed Suominen's blog:  http://blog.edsuom.com
