>>Let's test the theist's answer: If God will let you escape
the consequences of doing something even though He says it is
"wrong", what is to prevent a theist from doing it if it benefits
them? Is such a situation possible or is the theist never
confronted with this problem?>>

PMFJI -- I will assert that nothing prevents me from doing so.
Nothing prevents me from treating my wife & offspring as
2nd class people either. Except that I love them and doing so
would hurt me more than them! Same argument for my God.

Paul's arguments in Romans seems to cover this situation.
Even as a non-C, I think I understood him.
