The reason it's a dodge has nothing to do with the feasibility of the hypothetical itself, but the fact that "he wouldn't do that," doesn't address the point of the issue. The question wasn't about god, it's about you, the person being asked: the important part isn't "would god actually do this?" it's "how far astray from what you understand your morals to be would you go, if directed to by your ultimate authority figure?"
There is no dodge, before an action like this can even be considered one should know who they are worshiping, I know my God well enough to know He would not ask this of Christians. I wouldn't worship a god who would. Don't bother with the Abraham story, I know it better than any atheist here, I've already seen mistakes about both God and Abraham in this thread, there's far more to consider here than just the killing of a child, it's actually so extensive you nor anyone else would read it, I know this because it's been stated in other threads.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
