I realize you're making a lighthearted joke, but ...
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. 14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. 15 Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.
- James 1:13-15
It is your sin nature which tempts you toward evil. Such "testing" is not from God, but a product of the fall of man, something God is ready and willing to help us through.

I think you're actually right.
I'm far from a perfect person, but I'm doing my best to be more Godly every day.
