It's a dick move that no benevolent person would do to someone.
You're right a Christian should be willing to give his/her all to God, however when one knows his God he's sure what want be asked of him. I wouldn't worship a god who expected me to sacrifice even you.
You are trying to make a big deal through assumption, an assumption that's not going to happen, one I know I do not have to worry about. I deal in reality, it's you who wants to make up fairy tales through assumptions and you call me delusional.

But your god expected Abrahamto do just that.
If, therefore, he appeared to you, and there was no doubt it was him, and he asked you to sacrifice your child to prove your devotion, would you do it?
