The common religious mantra: "I'll do what god says as long as I was going to do it anyway".
Either that or:
"Isn't it funny how everything I think is moral also happens to be what God Himself endorses? Of course, if He Himself did think murder was a good thing then that would be just swell... because He Himself would say so."
Is the pious loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?
