Baloney.

It's true that it's possible that God knows, yet gives us free will to make choices. Free will is possible with an omniscient god. That in and of itself isn't a logical contradiction.

Where it gets weirder is that he has an infinite punishment/reward system set up with a specific set of criteria for who goes where. He came up with this system while simultaneously knowing who would and wouldn't make the cut. So, while we may have free will in relative to our own decisions, we certainly don't have free will relative to God, and he's the one judging us.
