Just because I "knew" what you would do does not mean I would be happy and content with it...and my only way to allow you to have freewill would be to limit my influence on you to the present.
As much as I respect your faith, I must question your logic here.
What kind of an all loving being, that has the power to do whatever he wanted, that would create another being, knowing ahead of time that this new being is destined to burn in hell for all of eternity?
The second part of your sentence is, I think, even worse. The greatest atrocities ever done on this planet have been made possible by the inaction of people who had the power to do something.
If god knew that I was to become a gay militant atheist and is destined to go to hell and burn down there forever, why the hell would god created me?
