SOOOO not meaning to bump up an old (and therefore unworthy?) topic
but I agree with you here, Asgara. As a young lad I used to explain this away by saying that God merely knew what choice you would make of your own free will, and that He didn't pre-write what you would do.
However I now see that this equates with a Schroedinger's Cat type of paradox. How much does simply "knowing" the future actually influence it? If an omniscient God knows something will happen a certain way then surely it can't happen otherwise.
And Perdition - number 5. I often wondered that myself. Why do people automatically assume that God = good simply because He created everything? Because He says so in His holy books? Dictators in human life hardly admit their evil nature now do they?
