So, clearly, I have tried to make this an analogous situation to God not revealing the entire consequences of our choice to accept or reject him. Earlier in this thread you argued that it is more moral for God to leave the choice more balanced, (that is, hide or de-emphasize the real consequence: eternal bliss vs. eternal torment) than to reveal the full information. In my thought experiment, you (in the analogous God role) chose the other way. How do you explain this?
How about it, iano? Not trying to rush you, but I don't want this to get dropped.
Is God immoral for withholding information?
Are you immoral for NOT withholding information?
Is there a problem with my thought experiment that makes it not analogous?
Something else?

Re: food for thought
iano? Have decided not to participate in this debate any more? Let me know so I can stop looking for your response to my questions from message 103.
