It's true that God had the choice to create us, knowing we would or would not believe, but we still make the decision. Knowing what a person would choose is not the same as deciding it for them. God, being our creator, has motives too complex for us to understand. It's like trying to guess the end of the play while in part 1, or a computer trying to understand the human brain. The created is always less complex than the creator, as a clay figurine is less detailed than the sculptor. Just because human logic makes God seem impossible does not mean He does not exist. In fact, it might make more sense to think that if the Bible were fabricated the writers would have made God more logical since they'd actually have control over His attributes.
Who said anything about deciding? Why would he have to? He knew what we would do, he knew what he would do, he created us anyway. Malicious precog, definitely not the "prince of peace". This is a kid that tortures ants who fall for the poisoned cake bait, knowing they would fall for the cake bait, and placing it in front of them in the first place.
