No. Your divinations are usually quite fun. You usually cast them when the game is winding down and I usually have two weeks to think up the answer. When you cast them at the start of a game, you usually email me and tell me of your intent to cast it, so I still have time to prepare. Sometimes I just anticipate it and already have it prepared.

Further, I can give a cryptic divination and you guys in the online game like to figure it out. One of my live players usually complains and says something along the lines of, "Our characters are geniuses and can easily figure out what we, as players, cannot, so you should let us roll Intelligence checks, and if we pass them, just give us the true meaning."

On the spot divinations also give me a lot of trouble, especially when they are cast one on top of the other.

Your divinations are fine and you make them enjoyable to use in the game. Also, since your divinations are religious in nature, they are limited in scope to what the divinity would actually know. Arcane divinations seem to be limitless...
