Why do you think god doesn't lie? he might, he could if he wanted to and nothing he says could inform you that he doesn't.

If I were Satan, I would be laughing that God supports a system of belief in Him that makes it so easy for me to trick people

Satan (in disguise): NotReady, this is God speaking to you

NotReady: How can I be sure that you are not Satan, trying to trick me?

Satan (in disguise): Would God lie to you?

NotReady: No, LDO, I apologize for my moment of stupidity, God..what is it you would like me to do?

He can't do that, in his view god is good by virtue of being god. So god is good whatever deception he practices.
