If God tells you to kill your son (or sister-in-law), just say No and walk away. Seriously.

God hasn't even told me to go the church or help an old lady walk across the street, so I doubt he'd suddenly start up a dialog with me by opening with "why don't you puree Mrs. Jones?"
Abraham wasn't exactly strangers with God when he got the "Isaac Directive". Abraham had communed with God for years and years, on a level that few mortals, if any, have experienced. Trying to analogize the Laffertys with Abraham/Isaac is to gloss over the huge differences between the two and how they arrived at that critical moment.
