The reason why it's supposed to be such a powerful example of blind faith and allegiance to a monstrous deity is because Abraham is being told to sacrifice his son, who is far more valuable than a daughter of course.

Par for the course when it comes to biblical values I'm afraid. We have come up with much better ways to value each other, I think.
