Whether or not you receive a message back is not particularly important. One-way telephathic communication with gods is still wacky.

Yeah, I get that you deny what you call divination. The point I am making here is that all the non-endorsed forms of magic get called what they are, while the endorsed forms of magic get endless circular arguments of "well you see this stuff is different..."

Not at all. For example, if God would like you to have free will then return communication would be rather scant.

For example - if God made himself obviously known then your will to love perhaps would not be as genuine.

Your premise that Gods would come forms that you expect isn't logical.
