if god knows everything this has been, is, and will be, then he is to
blame.
how can one claim ffree will when god knew it was going to happen.
if he knows it all already why bother doing it.
religion is so internally inconsistant as to be farcial.

It's a logical impossibility for god to be both omniscient and omnipotent.
The way round it (and the way round most of the inconsistancies) is to say
"you can't know how god works, what he is, so he can be and do anything I
like, so there".
