Yesterday, I wrote a short article about the Binding of Isaac. My opinion is that we don't have to make the Biblical story make sense or be OK. An alternative approach, for example, is just being atheist. The Biblical story's question is: Would you kill your son for that god? In that way, I think it relates to the question you're asking here. https://medium.com/@tuckerlieberman/akedah-wilderness-binding-of-isaac-d6a5a395307e
