What a terrific monologue. I was raised in the church and this story was always one that seemed as horrifying as any could be and then when I had a son I thought it did become nothing more than a horror story. Barbot's Abraham is as real a character as any next door neighbor and I admire his questioning God because in the end for me questioning is what make us stronger and wiser and bring us to a more enlightened belief system than we had ever imagined possible.
