Because humans have the ability to choose, just because God know the choice that one will make doesn't make that choice predetermined.
Please explain, in detail, how it is possible for a god to know every choice I will ever make, and yet I still have free will?
I can't make any choices other than the ones god already knows I will make, right?

Yes, we all understand what you believe about your mythology.
You claim that god already knows every decision I will ever make, including the ones the lead me to disbelieve he exists. And yet he decided to create me anyway, knowing ahead of time that I am destined for hell.
In fact, according to what you are saying, he created the vast majority of humanity, knowing they were/are destined for hell. Most of these people are destined for hell based almost solely on their geography and culture.
So, not only is your god evil for not making in more obvious that he exists, but you are immoral for worshiping such a god, who would punish the vast majority of humanity for the accident of being born in the wrong place, to parents that believe in the wrong god.
As I've said before, the worst possible universe I can imagine, is one in which the Biblical god actually exists.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
