Laying aside the logical issues with foreknowledge and free will entirely, we'll have further moral difficulty understanding why an attribute that would make us responsible for x would not also make a god responsible for x. If we do something knowing full well the consequence of that act, we hold ourselves responsible for that outcome.
Do we hold gods to lesser standards than men?
We don't hold God to any standards, because He is God. You can make up any standard you like, but you would be totally powerless to enforce it, so it is a moot point. Therefore, it does not follow that if we are responsible for X then God is also responsible for X.
That's because you worship a fictional monster. I, however, hold FSM to very strict standards and xhe has never let me down.
