You either lack faith (wouldn't kill jr no matter what), or become a douche the moment ghosts are invoked (well..I suppose if god said so.....).Personally I just go the lack faith route. I don't see where this is an issue for Christians, as the Bible says bluntly that we lack faith.
It can be made more difficult for the atheist. The disconnect is that the theist is taking an omniscient god's word that the action is moral, while the atheist is limited to current knowledge. Suppose we say that the son is crazy and is about to kill a roomful of children, and the atheist father has a chance to kill the son before he does so. Now the playing field is leveled a bit.
