I asked a similar question earlier at http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsaNFcp2ztuh7mZyI10wv4_sy6IX?qid=20061106070237AATO7kl
It was a bit impersonal, in that I was curious to see if people were willing to sacrifice the life of a stranger for God (of any religion).
Most everyone knows the story of Abraham. God demanded that Abraham sacrifice his son, Isaac. It was only a test of faith, but Abraham believed in it, and he prepared to spill his own son's blood. God was only testing Abraham.
If you felt that your god would want you to kill your child, could you go through with it?
Please no answers about how Christ was the only blood needed. God has changed his mind in the Bible before, so there's not even a guarantee that Christ is the last of the blood sacrifices. That also only applies to Christians. Jews? Muslims? Hindus?
