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.

^^^^^^^^ So much this.
It shouldn't take a cosmic Big Brother watching you every nanosecond of your life.
As far as the driving analogy, I agree. Obeying traffic laws and driving safely are things one should want to do, not feel like they are forced to do it. And that is as much a matter of logic. If you tailgate, for example, you are far more likely to rear-end someone than if you keep your distance. So if one is selfish, even then if you keep your distance you save yourself money on insurance and possible medical bills. Once you start thinking like that, there is no need for the cosmic sky camera.
