It is kind of hilarious what some people think about God.
Here is my favorite example.
I work for a company whose heiress enjoys publicly embarrassing herself. We have many franchised properties. Many of them have bars. Some of them are in the state of Utah. One of our owners is a devout Mormon, and therefore does not wish to be associated with alcohol, because God would be pissed.
So, what does he do? If your answer is, "He does not have a bar on his properties," you are incorrect. What he does instead is force my company to hold the liquor license, so that it will not be in his name. He still gets all the revenue from selling firewater at the bar, the liquor license is simply not in his name. He insists that this is for religious reasons.
Conclusion: YHWH, although presumably omnipotent, is stupid enough to miss several thousands of dollars of liquor sales revenue going into your pocket if you do not put your name on the license that must be held to sell it.
(This also means that if the bar overserves someone and they run over a neighbor in a bitchin' camaro, we are liable, and not the owner, despite the fact that we do not see a cent of revenue from this bar. This is why I hate this owner with the burning white hot passion of one thousand suns.)

Mormon liquor laws are a constant source of amusement. For example.
Q: If Jews don't believe that Jesus was the messiah, what don't Mormons believe in?
A: Other Mormons at the liquor store.
Hah
Other fun Utah liquor facts:
When I was growing up, you could not get a mixed drink in a restaurant. If you wanted, say, a bloody mary you would have to order bloody mary MIX from the waiter then go buy a vodka mini from a little booth at the front of the restaurant. You could then mix your own drink. And since mini bottles are like 2 shots worth of booze, you could get SUPER WASTED for cheap. My parents loved this law.
Now you can get a mixed drink, but it can only contain one type of alcohol. I have no idea why.
Passengers in limos and charter buses couldn't drink booze. This law may have changed.

As you said, Gleja, religion doesn't necessarily follow a flowchart of logic XD I've always thought that was a function of it being defined as faith -- ie something which is not only impossible to justify but which by its very nature is meant to justify itself. Deeply religious people, regardless of their hypocrises, don't see a need to justify their beliefs because to them that justification is self-evident.

If you are in your house, drinking a beer and someone walks by and looks through your window and sees you, you are drinking in public and shall be fined!
Praise Bob!

If God is Bob Hope, does that mean Bing Crosby is Jesus?
Now THAT'S the cult for me. Kool-aid all around!

But Bing Crosby and Barry Manilow never worked together!
David Bowie sang with Bing Crosby a month before Crosby died. Mary of Bethany anointed Jesus a few days before he died. See? SEE??
Sigh.
