I know it and that makes it sound even more crazy. Abraham's behavior in that story was absurdly immoral.

You can make things mean anything. Like Augustine making smashing babies heads on rocks stamping out heresy rather than literal infanticide

Maybe choose the one that doesn't involve murdering your kid.

There's nothing intrinsic to this story that makes Abraham's behavior virtuous. You have to arbitrarily import it.

I'm sorry to hear about your story but it doesn't seem to be answering my Q: Why is killing the kid the virtuous decision in your metaphor?

Abraham isn't thinking like that! He doesn't think God cld be having a bad day & he'd better ignore him & go with his original commandments!

This is historical revisionism. That story is there to show why Abraham should be respected. There was only ever one right choice.
