Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr Bob Frost
Sir: While God may, indeed, be a vegetarian in the early part of Genesis, it would appear to be merely a phase, as with so many other youngsters, that He was going through.
By Chapter 15, He is encouraging Abram to cut various animals in half, and by the time we get to Chapter 22, He has convinced Abram that he should tie up his son and place him on an alter for sacrifice.
Certainly if such behaviour was repeated today, one would look to prosecution of Abram by the RSPCA, both God and Abraham to be investigated for possible ritual abuse, and Isaac to be taken into care and to receive counselling after his horrific experience.
Yours sincerely,
Bob Frost
