Now. In the above quote, the part you left out is this: Abraham takes Isaac to the mountain to sacrifice his child, because God told him to. When he gets up there, he raises his hand to kill his son, and the angel of the Lord stops him, and tells him, you have not withheld your only son. (So, it was a test of Abraham's faith.) Abraham doesn't kill his son.

The fact that Abraham didn't end killing his son does not make the story any less ridiculous.
All that would make the story MORE ridiculous would be if God actually said, "Just kidding!" or "You're on candid camera!"
