[If this happened to you (God came to you and told you to find a homosexual and kill him), what would you do?]
While I find it hard to imagine that scenario you describe would happen, if it were confirmed through prayer, then for one to be obedient to God, one would have to be prepared to act.

If the Flying Spaghetti Monster appeared to you and told you to find a fundie and kill him, would you do it?
Doubtless it would be a test. I would say "no." Mindless obedience can lead only to suffering, and the beer volcano awaits.

Not me! "While I find it hard to imagine that scenario you describe would happen," I'd tell him to go do it himself. Any deity that needs humans to carry out its dirty work is pretty weak and wouldn't be worth obeying.
if it were confirmed through prayer
How exactly does one confirm something through prayer? Does a little green bar appear above your head to denote that it's not a phishing answer from Satan attempting to get you to sign your soul over to him by pretending to be God? Do you have a Jeez-o-Meter to tell if your prayer is answered in the affirmitive and actually by the deity you're praying to? Please, I'd love to know how you fundies know that God is listening to and answering your prayers, especially on matters such as God demanding that you do his dirty work.

Quaaludes!
God doesn't speak to people, and he sure as hell doesn't command them to kill anybody. If he did, he would be directly contradicting himself, right?
Then I would most likely be suffering from schizophrenia. You know, hearing voices and all that. Normally, I wouldn't insult anyone's intelligence by saying one of the main symptoms of schizophrenia, but you are an idiot for even contemplating listening to the voices inside your head.

Pastafarianism is a religion of peace, and I will kill anyone who denies it.
"God said to Abraham, I want you to kill me a son! Abraham said man you must be putting me on! God said what, you can do what you want Abe but, next time you see me coming you better run! Abe said where you want this killing done? God said out on Highway 61!"-Bob Dylan
The scariest aspect of religion; hearing the voice of god.
Since the only ones who seem to talk to god this way are white, self-important, self-righteous people who's god wants the same things that they do, I would pick another first option before even considering that a supposed loving god would hire you to be his unpaid hitman.
Well personally if I heard any voice that wasn't my own in my head saying anything to me I'd seek professional help as I've obviously developed schizophrenia. If, somehow, it was proved to me it was actually God I think I'd tell him to go fuck himself and go hang out with satan who seems to be far less evil and has better music.
Anyone know the ratio for nutters who murder people because god told them to compared to satan telling them? Coz if by some small chance there is a god etc it would seem god is the evil one.
If God told me to kill a Gay, I would say
"You are not my God."
If he insisted he's the only God there is, I would answer
"Then I'll go to hell, thank you very much."
Confused?
