It's the classic statement, where one believes one thing, but doesn't really want to say it outright, so instead blames it on God.

This quote from you is interesting, especially since you've pushed back on my claim that
Deuteronomy 22:5 is not about pants. In that post, you
somewhat agree with me that
Deuteronomy 22:5 is not about pants.

As for me and my house - we will seek the "No-Smoking" section of eternity. :-)

From the post above, it appears you do believe women who wear pants will be sent to the smoking section of eternity.
Is a women committing sin if she wears pants? Yes or no?
If the answer is yes, then either you believe a person who is in sin will be seated in the smoking section of eternity, or you're a universalist who believes sinners will still somehow be allowed into Heaven.
If the answer is no, you've wasted a lot of time arguing over something which really doesn't matter.
Hint: the answer is no.
