It seems to me that "hacks" like these are just missing the point - though I'm an atheist, so maybe I'm just missing the point.
If the logic is that God didn't want a fire lit, surely that is because he didn't want the fire, not that he didn't want someone lighting it.
Isn't it all a little bit like a scaled down, less immoral, version of saying "No, I didn't kill him, I just pushed him into the ocean - blame the water"?
