That argument lands you in the "we can't know which religion is true" category, because if we can't know the plans of god, we also can't know which god is real.

So, while it absolves the believer from having to answer the problem of evil, it simultaneously robs them of any certainty about the truth of their religion.

But only if they think about it.

They're all true and all not true. Each culture given the appropriate teachers at the appropriate time for the appropriate lessons. Five is five, until it's 5.2.
