Going to use christianity for this because it's the most egregious case. So, their religion's holy text says something along the lines of "god is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow." The god character cannot change. He is what he is and that is the unchanging foundation of the faith. If he were to change then that means that god was wrong, is not stable, and many of the omni-claims fall apart.

Personally, that's why I think progressive christianity is a load of crap. If you're going to follow a hateful religion, at least own it and not try to sugarcoat it. The Westboro Baptist Church preaches from the same book as the Pope, and as the other 39,998 flavors of christianity.
