Yeah, but if we have real free will, he doesn't know the outcome of our actions in advance. This is the contradiction, and theists often want to have it both ways. If God isn't able to know the future, which is a very reasonable proposition, he can indeed receive less of the blame. It's when he's given every opportunity and every power that there is literally no excuse for him. A less-than-all-powerful God can be argued to be doing its best.
