If you're a Christian would you kill your own child if God asked you to?

That's a great, but extremely uncomfortable question because Abraham's actions are held up as the ultimate expression of the power of Faith. I expect most Christians consider that story with gritted teeth and wide eyes once they become parents. My own reaction as Mr. New Dad was if such urges developed I'd have two options: 1) Kill myself immediately before acting on it or 2) Commit myself to a mental institution to keep my family safe from Divine Delusion.
:btw: I was a Christian when I made those consideracationz.

Being a Gnostic Christian, I would have no problem in telling Yahweh to go to hell, where he belongs, if he ever materialized in front of me.

Christians decimated us in the ancient past because they could not accept the truth of how evil Yahweh was.
