So, why do we lock up people who murder their families because 'god told them to do it?' Following your absurd line of reasoning we should accept the murders because how are we to know that god didn't tell them to do it.
It's self-evident that murder is detrimental to society and to individual life. Also, to those who believe in God and understand His nature, it is obvious that this sort of thing is not the sort of thing God would 'tell someone to do.'
