Fantasy can be fun but the secret of enjoyment is to realise it’s not real.
Funny how you two disregarded everything I said just to get to the endiing sentence, this only proves what I said in the original post : most atheists are too lazy to look for the truth, or simply don't care about it, or are arrogant enough to think their brilliant mind will surpass even the holy books they didn't read.
Speaking of reality, when I look around I can see that things are quite orderly. My computer didn't jump and crash against the roof for no reason, when I reach out for my phone I on average reach out to it without some random alien lightening coming down my finger.
Enjoy your quest to reconcile orderly with no god.

It's just the way you put the words that makes you think there is a contradiction. An omniscient being simultaneously wants and knows what he will do and he will do it. When you say "he can't do something different than what he knows he will do "[sic.] you are already assuming he changed his mind and the future he projected didn't please him enough, you are accusing the deity of mood swings.
