You're failing badly at seeing the logic here.
There isn't a strong enough microscope.
Quote:From Gods POV, you are free. He sees your entire timeline from anywhere he wants, from the beginning, the end, at any moment or all at once... that's what omniscience grants. He knows all that you did and are going to do, and all the choices that you make.
You as a time bound being are trapped by your physiology and influences. You are free to act as your conditioning dictates. Whatever words come into your mind, that then find themselves typed, you were free to form.
If God knows that the decisions will be made in a certain way, then it's predestination, and he's just not actively guiding the flow of events. It amounts to the same thing.

The shit Christians need to tell themselves to believe that they're not followers of a brutal and evil despot.
