Yes thats right. I reread my post to make sure I didnt accidently put Issac. That is a high point in my disagreement with the Bible especially the Old Testament. Surely a being of infinate wisdom would have seen the trouble of setting a situation up like this. Almost as if God could stir up some shit and watch all the little humans scramble. The Odyssey is another great story. Zeus shaped lives for a time. The Sun circled the Earth for a time. This story of God intentionally creating a rift and further stating the Arabs will be the ass of man still seems to be dictating policy to this day. Or at least being used a very lame excuse.
