An all powerful, all knowing god with the gift of eternal happiness and damnation for me and my son asks for an insignificant action from me, what sacrifice?

The death of a loved one is only bad because its the end.

Does it have to be the Christian God? What if this God doesn't give humans an afterlife, so he is essentially making you kill your son prematurely with no reward in sight? Also, you don't know what he will do if you say no.

I kinda assumed we are talking about your everyday god. I'd talk about defying a bad god (check the archives if you're really bored) but Mr Sklansky would tell you how silly I would sound.
