Divine Hiddenness

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

That sounds like you're implying that God isn't omniscient and therefore needs to conduct studies to make sure he/she/its/their research is valid.

Hmm it implies that information interferes with people's choices.

If I had said that spoiling a movie for someone affects whether they'll go watch it, would you have concluded that God is a film director instead?

I liken it more to driving with a cop behind you - you might drive more carefully, but you aren’t compelled to do so. In fact, you should logically drive no differently from when a cop ISN’T behind you. You know cops are out there, and you know you’ll be punished if you’re caught doing the wrong thing.
