Yes I would because I trust God.

Good Christian.
Bad Parent.
The MORAL answer to that is "No, I would not harm any living being, especially my own offspring, in the name of any deity, and would certainly never bow my knee to any such brutal and vicious deity who would ever demand such from a follower."
Of course, the bible documents God demanding this quite often. So.... there ya go.
My advisor at college, a fairly atheist (though, I think he was raised Muslim) Turkish guy used to have a serious hangup on the story of Abraham and Isaac, mainly because he liked Kierkegaard's interpretation. He told me once that he and his daughter used to sing that old song (forget who it's by) about the legend every night before bed.
Granted, he never told her it was anything more than an interesting myth, and never implied that he was up for killing her, but she turned out all right.
Of course, that's only if you consider a four-year old who stares at pictures of Derrida and calls him "bootiful Dewwida" all right. Because I do. I totally, totally do. That was one awesome 4-year old.
Precisely why your concept of a god is fucked up, and you are a worthless brain dead idiot for accepting such a view. The only thing you're really good for is spare parts, and I would volunteer to cut you up.

There's a kid who'll need some counseling.
"Mommy loves you but if God says you have to die then I'll have to do it. You understand, don't you honey?"
o_O Wow.
Fundie: Honey, I need to talk to you about something!
If God instructed you to murder your child to prove your devotion to him, would you?
Only if He (or His burning bush) promised to show up in court as my defense witness.
God actually does occasionally instruct someone to murder a child, wife, husband, neighbor, woman in a short skirt, random stranger etc. Sometimes He speaks directly. Other times, He speaks through a TV or radio, or in one famous case, through a Labrador retriever. Funny thing, though, is God never shows up in court to help with the killer's defense; He just leaves the poor guy to rot in jail or the loony bin.
Fundie: Honey, I need to talk to you about something!
My version:
Fundie: So, you see, if mommy ever comes after you with a knife, you need to make sure you stay still and don't try to run away.
I really wonder what goes through this persons head.
1. You shall not kill You shall not kill, unless...
Have "that talk" with your youngest soon, idiot.
Your oldest's been banging the football team all year.
Um, Jade, does the fifth commandment mean anything to you? I'd say since your god's Ten Commandments tell you not to kill, if anything tells you to kill your kid, assume that it is the devil, and act accordingly. That is to say, don't kill your kid.
What's that game, where you close your eyes and fall, and you have to let the other person catch you.
I just envisioned god saying "you can trust me." to this guy, then saw him drop and get impaled on a spike...
"Honey? We have to have a talk. You see sometimes, when a Mommy and Daddy love God very much, they have to kill their special people. And I just want you to know, that I will bust a cap in yo' ass fo' Jesus."
Dear Jade W's Oldest Daughter,
If you tell your school guidance counselor, or your neighbor if your home-schooled, or any halfway-sane relatives you may have about this little talk, you can get help. Start packing and making your escape plan NOW!
Love,
Seriously, I hope someone took an IP address or something, because we just might see this nutter and her poor children on the news.
I hope for your daughter's sake she's at least an adult and on her own that we she can avoid you better.
This is sickening and exactly the reason why some people should be prevented from breeding.
holy fucking shit, that wasn't even the only one who said yes! I honestly can't believe that many people would murder their own children. Sickening.
let's see:
Instead of just "reading" you to see your devotion, he wants you to commit murder as an unecessary gesture.
Some fuckup
In the words of the great Malcolm Reynolds, captain of the Firefly class vessel Serenity (and as fictional as the deity of the fundies likely is), "Now, if someone tries to kill you, you try and kill 'em right back!"
Ugh. You'd really murder your own child on the instructions of a god? Gotta tell ya, no kind, loving, god who cares about humanity (that would be most gods) would *ever* ask for a literal human sacrifice. Most of the blood-gods were worshiped in Central & South America, but I see one made its way to the Middle East. I'm disgusted.
"That talk" usually contains birds and bees, to be responsible when having sex, stuff like that.
What if God instructs HER to murder YOU? Is that OK too?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
