Theophobia

Theophobia- Fear of gods or religion.

I was talking to my friend today, and we somehow came across the topic of religions. My friend told me that he didn't know if this was correct, but that this was the story of Abraham.
"I think the story was that Abraham was asked by God to kill his own son. Just as he was about to, God stopped him and said that he had passed the test of faith."
I'm not sure, but it made me sad to think of that. I know that God was never going to let him kill his own son, but the thought of that is just mind-bending. Well, for me it is. I found it to be bad that if I ever disliked God, I felt that I might be punished. Look what society has done to us.
