A 'proof' of God's existence - free will

RE: A 'proof' of God's existence - free will

If a creature has free will then god has incomplete power over it, therefore god is not omnipotent, therefore by the rules set up by the jewish, christian and muslim religions, that god cannot exist.

I don't understand why christians constantly make out that we have free will, it breaks their whole religion.

Bang! Right in the kisser!

I thought I'd heard all the counters to the free will argument espoused by the apologists but this one is the red dot on the forehead.
No doubt my highlighted line has been done before with much verbiage but as the man says:

Keep it simple.

It means right there what it says on the tin; all knowing. There is no way omnipotence can mean anything else.
Other than in philosophy of course.
Miserable Bastard.
