Please refer to this post for what I mean by "informed decision":Again, the Biblical God has nothing to do about the decisions we make on how to live our lives. You are being too literalist. We have freewill and the power to use it as we please, as long as we are aware of the law of cause and effect.

If the laws of cause and effect in reality contradict the rules that the biblical god dictates, and there is no evidence to support what the bible claims, which should we follow? The bible or reality?
If god makes you choose between two pills, and you know that one of them can kill you, but you have absolutely no knowledge about which one it is, no ability to find out, and god wouldn't tell you, what is the meaning of you having free will in choosing between the pills?
It's meaningless. It's just an excuse for the "ungodly" behavior of the biblical god.
