How does this not cause cognitive dissonance? The rules would not have loopholes if it were designed by an omniscient god. If they actually believed, the "loopholes" shouldn't matter because they would want to follow God's will and not find excuses to ignore it in the first place. This is just an exercise in constantly manipulating and trimming passages to fit them into modern society because they're not willing to give up conveniences but they still want the perceived superiority of being holy.

Everything about this points to either it's not real or they don't even believe it. Would God actually be fooled by "Oh well I convinced myself I didn't have to follow this rule because XYZ". It sure sounds like you're engaging in behavior for fear of not fitting in rather than love of God.

The purpose of the loopholes is to allow yourself to do the thing you want to do, without feeling bad about it. Since God is omniscient, then any "loophole" you find in the divine rules must therefore be put there with the express purpose of allowing you to do whatever you found the loophole for.
