Abraham, at God's command, was going to slaughter his own son - the poor child in his ignorance even carried the wood. Abraham should have said to this supposed divine voice: 'that I am not to kill my beloved son is quite certain; that you who appear to me as God, I am not certain, nor can I ever be, even if the voice thunders from the sky.'


- Immanuel Kant in "The Disputes between the Philosophical and Theological Faculties",
as cited in Timothy H. Lim's The Dead Sea Scrolls - A Very Short Introduction, page 51.
