god is not mocked

- I think I encountered the phrase first in Gregory Bateson. As an inveterate mocker, it gets under my skin. Is god definitionally that part of reality which is beyond mockery?
- It is from Galatians 6
6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
