Ah, now, you've got your stories mixed up there. It was Abraham that God told to sacrifice his son Isaac and then stopped him. God (via Satan) just killed all of Job's sons.

That's right - Abraham. The chief patriarch of all the peoples of the Book was quite happy to slaughter his son because God told him to. It's been pretty much downhill since then, really.
