Cultures at that time sacrificed kids. Abraham was Babylonian, who were known to sacrifice children.
This story is God teaching Abraham a lesson. He told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac just as all every other culture did to their gods, but God stopped him to show that this is not His way and had Abraham sacrifice an animal instead. This story points forward to Jesus. Abraham stated that God would provide the sacrifice. Jesus was God sacrificing His son for us and our sins.

We must, then, avoid the “Babel syndrome,” namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance. This is the risk of dehumanization: building a future that excludes God and reduces the other to a means.
“In practice, however, technology is never neutral, because it takes on the characteristics of those who devise it, finance it, regulate it and use it.”
THANK YOU POPE LEO FOR SAYING THIS.
Time for the “technology is a tool with no inherent moral position” idea to die!
