There is one of the huge glaring issues with god. How could there possibly be an all-knowing god while at the same time humans still possess free will? If some entity knew every single action we will ever take down to the tiniest of detail. If god knew 100,000 or 100 trillion years ago I would be typing this right now. Am I really deciding to? Or is he ya know...not all knowing. Or even there at all.

Now this is also something that bugs me. Christians say "he gave us free will!" at the same time they say "obey him or else!" as well as saying "God has a plan for everyone!".
Well, that gives the obvious contradictions.

1. If we have free will, we cannot be punished for being skeptical with lack of evidence that any god exists.
2. If a god does exist and has a plan for everyone, then we are just robots marching along to that plan and thus free will doesn't exist.
3. If there is a god that is claimed to love everyone, why does the god allow miscarriages, children to have cancer, leukemia or other awful diseases, children to be molested/murdered, children to be homeless, families to starve, or anyone for that matter. Why does the god allow women to be raped/assaulted? And so on.
