...To be perfectly fair to divine command theorists, I should repeat what a commenter, on, I think, Sean Carroll's old blog named Arun pointed out to me a long time ago, that the "lying God" scenario isn't a problem if what you care about is what God commands rather than what he really wants. That's fair enough, though it does of course still leave the problem of how you know he exists and what his commands really are.
