tl;dr: Matthew 4 covers that by saying don’t do stupid soot to test God

Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, saying to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’ ”Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’ ”

Seems convenient "never test anything.. because.. well.. there'll be no response"

Yeah, and the Wizard of Oz said "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain". It's the only way their lies still work on you.
