So if a Christian kills their kid to send them to heaven, they are clearly defying and testing God. To present an effective hypothetical account you need to have a better understanding of the dogma.You seem to have the stereotypical Christian understanding of the God of the Hebrews that doesn't accurately portray his character in the Bible. Why would a God who rejects child sacrifice order Abraham to sacrifice his own child knowing full well he'd do it anyway? What did it accomplish apart from terrifying Isaac? If a sane god was testing Abraham's integrity then why didn't he rebuke the man the moment he agreed to murder his son in cold blood on a whim?
Why did your God-concept maul children to death with wild bears for simply making fun of Elisha's baldness? What wrong did these children commit? Thou Shalt Not Make Jokes Of Elisha's Apparent Baldness? Thou Shalt Not Have A Sense Of Humour?
Why would any benevolent god opposed to murder have his only son, Jesus, nailed to a fricking cross, when he could have just, you know, forgiven everyone? Why would a logical God choose the most destructive and violent solution to the problem?
You speak of dogma, yet your god concept who blatantly "denounces murder" has managed a total of 2,270,365+ kills. It's not particularly hard to see how a young Adolf Hitler was indeed inspired by religious dogmatism.
And before you continue to ignore me again, at least my Invisible Pink Unicorn goddess concept has a spotless record, she wouldn't hurt a soul, unlike yours.
