Of course nobody is actually "tricking god", because there is no god to trick: they're only tricking themselves. So of course it looks to them (the actual gullible chumps in this situation) from inside their tiny little closed-form logical trap of their fictional make-believe "massive world unto itself" role-playing MMPORG that they are "logically consistent", and not both worshiping and tricking a make-believe god who is a gullible chump, but that's sure not the way it looks and actually is objectively from outside in the real world.
They also have just as many stubborn closed-form rationalizations for their outrageously neanderthal sexism, too. Just blame it on centuries of tradition and scholarship ultimately based on chump-god's commandments, not the frustrated angry misogynistic old men who originally invented and still perpetuate it.
How about putting all that energy and ingenuity into coming up with clever exceptions and work-arounds to the traditional misogynistic commandments of a sexist god, that allow you to get away with respectfully treating women as clean and equal human beings seven out of seven days of the week, even while they're menstruating, instead of smugly obsessing on inventing intellectually and physically lazy tricks to cleverly ride elevators without pressing buttons one day a week?
