Why just saying god did it is not a satisfying answer

RE: Why just saying god did it is not a satisfying answer
In the Mormon orbit, if really pressed on some item of historically pliable church doctrine, their apologists will state, "God changed His mind", which to me is even worse than "God diddit".

So God can't foresee He is going to have to walk back a policy, or extend and revise his ordinance(s) till He gets it right ?? And then this is how the rest of us get to the point of realizing if, for instance, Joe Smith came back to 'his' church today after not participating in over 150 years of near continuous tweaking and wholesale rewrites of 'his' dogma, old horny Joe would have to be excommunicated post haste since he would now be a dangerous heretic/apostate in the very church he founded.

Further, in the Mormon orbit, 'God diddit' is further complicated by their confused and confusing take on just who in the Blue Blazes God is. Adam? Jesus? Micheal? and then realizing whoever their God entity is, in a possibly infinite Mormon universe, there are an infinite number of of other Gods floating around and there really isn't a clear piece of Mormon doctrine delineating why they couldn't also be fucking with humanity too.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
