Q, the author, links God with laughter in this Prologue.
What do you make of this?
What does it mean to "unbind Isaac?"
What might the author be hinting at in re-telling the story of Abraham and Sarah, and the contemplated sacrafice of Isaac?
Does God desire sacrifice? If not, why? If so, what is to be sacrificed and why?
What's your reaction to Voltaire's comment about God?
Does laughter have a place in your life? If so, what is it? If not, did you once have it but lost it? (If so, that might be a painful story. When you're ready to do so, consider sharing it with someone you trust.)
