Divine Hiddenness

[Angrboda]

I’m thinking there’s a bit of equivocation here (in the bit I posted) between knowledge and presence. I can’t think of a scenario where more information about a subject would limit someone’s intellectual freedom rather than the other way around. God making himself known is different from being constantly present, as others have mentioned. I know my parents exist which provides me with information and context for my choices, but they aren’t constantly in my presence. I’m sure I’d behave differently if they were.

If your parents threatened to burn you alive if you behave incorrectly then it might crimp your style.

The problem there is the threat delivered, not that it is delivered in-person.
