That is a quite rational formulation. So, how do you know that god is telling you the truth?

Rene Descartes went through this several hundred years ago...I think you two would have a lot in common.

Therein lies the problem. The commandment that says that "thou shalt worship no other gods before me" indicates that there are indeed other gods. Some of them are even named in the bible. Which one is telling the truth? Are any of the stories about gods true? It is an interesting question, and it is in the realm of philosophy, not science.
