Nah, just the Abrahmic god that decided to flood the world and kill nearly everyone on it innocent or not.

"Kill your son."

"What...?"

"Do it, prove to me that you care more about doing what I say than you do about your own son."

"Are you serious? That's horrible."

"Fucking do it. You want to spend infinite lifetimes in permanent anguish? Kill him. Now. Cut him open on that big flat rock over there. Gut him with a big fuck off knife, like a sword or something. Slice him up."

"But he's my son, I live him."

"Sharpen the knife first then. Kill him, or I kill you, and him, and the rest of your family."

"Ok, but, ffs, this is insane..."

"Haha I was just foolin, you don't have to. I was just joshin. Just joshin with ya."

"Should I... Do you want me to kill my son or..."

"WTF no! I was just messing around. But seriously don't ever disobey me or you're fucking done."
