If God demanded you to sacrifice your son to him would you do so?

I will assume that the ingenious hoax and psychiatric disorder possibilities get completely ruled out. At that point, I would take advice as to whether some sort of malicious supernatural entity is attempting to deceive me. If I am absolutely persuaded it is God, the Christian God, well, denying him would be pretty -EV. Being only human (and especially prone to sympathy for the devil), I'd probably be pretty irritated.

Why would you be irritated? I'll take my son to be innoculated against disease without any problem - the amount of discomfort is insignificant in the scheme of things. Why would this 'sacrifice' be different?
