How might it be possible and it certainly is for a person who is an atheist or an agnostic to live by yet another version of the Divine Command Theory?
I think you need to clarify what you mean by "yet another version of the Divine Command Theory". As I understand the DCT, it is the idea that morality comes from a divine commandment - implying that if god commands something, then it must be good. This leads to some difficulties for philosphers - for example, mass murderer, Peter Sutcliffe, claimed that god had told him to kill prostitutes; yet few people would claim he was doing good.
How divine command theory preserves god good status?
Divine commandment does not make one god more good. The divine command will not be good by default, simply because it is spoken (or written) by a god. (Presumably the god of the bible.) God is not good by default for simply being himself. He would have to be shown to be good and not evil before you can even consider if the commandments given are good. To preserve God's good status, you would first have to assume that he was even good in the first place. If you are considering the bible of the old testament, then clearly God should absolutely not be considered the shining example of good.
How do The Divine Command Theory and Cultural relativism differ?
Divine Command Theory (DCT) is a theory that stands to say that something is morally acceptable simply "because God says so." (ie: To donate to charity is "good." What makes giving to charity good? "Because God commands it.") Cultural Relativism/Ethnocentrism (CR) is a theory that states that there is no universal code for morality, rather that one's cultural upbringing determines morality. (ie: Just because Americans do not traditionally practice cannibalism, that does not make it morally wrong. Other cultures are raised to think this is a natural and normal practice.) Hope this answers your question!
