Doesn't that mean that the law was written by god, for god? Why burden humanity with something he knew they could not accomplish?

The Bible says that the reason for the law was to see if people were stupid enough to follow it.

I've has one yes but the rest never replied. What does this, to you, tell you about religion?

God would never ask such a loaded, biased, ill-informed silly question.

God wasn't asking a question in the hypothetical, he was issuing a command. But I think we have our answer as to how you would respond. Most consider your type of response to be evasive, dishonest, and disappointing.

would you sacrifice your baby if you had your pastor tell you he had a vision of the magical deity telling him that they had no option but to kill it...?

I wouldn't sacrifice anyone even if god told me to do it. To me god has the same authority as any other thinking being. Of course he can torture me for disobeying but so can people.
