A thought experiment for theists.

Let me try to put all you theists in a hypothetical situation.Consider you are all alone in a dark room trying to fall asleep but it is a stormy night and frightening sounds of thunder keep you awake.
Suddenly after a deafening roll of thunder you hear a deep commanding voice which you can't make out the origin of.It claims to be the voice of God and tells you that the only way you could attain absolution is to kill someone.
Why wouldn't you believe that it actually was god.(assuming you wouldn't)
Edit: I left out the cheating part to avoid confusion.
