Even believers affirming divine omniscience intuitively treat God as limited

Evidence

We saw earlier that experimental studies show that believers who say that God is omniscient nevertheless in their spontaneous retellings of God’s various actions treat Him as if His powers of observations are subject to human limitations. Experimental studies also show that, despite scriptural prohibitions, the most devoted believers see God possessing human-like mental attributes such as beliefs, emotions, and intentions. Like other counterintuitive ideas, this one too has to filter through evolved human psychology, sustained by repeated reminders that are reproduced by cultural practices and institutions. One such filter is the notion that God or gods are personlike beings—they transcend human mental and physical limitations, but only partly. — Norenzayan, Ara, Big gods - how religion transformed…, 104

Categorization

• XREF: Directly extends the analytical frame: an omniscient God who is ‘only partly’ transcendent is exactly the limited monitor Rodrigues serves under—connects to Norenzayan’s own Big God mechanism in the reader’s framing.
• DEFINE: Introduces the psychological filter that personlike gods must both transcend and share human limits—core mechanism for the Big God analysis.
