I posed my question a little bit wrong by using the word "hypocrite", but it doesn't matter because the discussion has proceeded somewhat beyond where the question was relevant.

Let me pose a different question for anyone interested. What actions are forbidden to men, women, certain individuals, whatever, that are understood by all/most to be not forbidden to god(s)? Not all prohibitions are absolutely morality based. It might be immoral for a blind person to drive a car but you wouldn't say that driving is immoral. What can god(s) do that men are forbidden to do? Which of these prohibitions are true hypocrisy?
