I believe that _most_ of the information that the dieties obtained came from the prayer of priests and to a lesser extent initiates. That is if they're not told something, they generally just don't know it. For example, in a divination you'll probably get the knowledge of where the priest is (or was last) located, but not of their secret intentions (if any ). Whilst the gods are certainly capable of pulling the information, they normally don't do that sort of thing. Any naughtiness is left to their faithful priests and initiates to police.
If communciation was direct, If the god knew his favourite priest was in trouble, why is it necessary to request DI?
