This has been asked before, but I believe I should sacrifice my child if God is truly asking me to. It would be better for the child, but being human and imperfect, I'm not sure whether or not I would pass the test as Abraham did.

No, a "test" is something you take in school. A "test" is playing a rival in a sport or game. I find anyone thinking it is ok to ask someone to kill their own kid vile.

So even if you want to call that vile story a "test", I would be happy to fail it and say the same thing Hitchens did "FUCK YOU". Kids are not props, toys, prizes, or even questions to be used as bait.

And no "Just kidding" is not an answer either. Among all the other sick acts this god watches or condones or causes, this one alone has to be top 5 most vile things to plague mythology.

And it does not even make for good metaphor if that is what you cop out to.
