That has nothing to do with what we're saying. We're not asking how God can see the future, we're asking the problems with the fact that the God you believe in, if he existed would be able to do stuff that seriously contradicts your religion...

It doesn't contradict it at all. The problem is that we are on 2 entirely different ships when we're looking at this, and I don't know how else to explain my side in a way that gets through.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
