Yeay, pretty obvious, n'est-ce pas? But try arguing that with posters who just quote scripture back at you.
Postulating an omnimax creator god has certain ramification which don't vanish no matter how many Bible verses you trow at it.
Omniscience not only means that this god knows exactly what will happen at any point in time but also why, i.e. he knows exactly what chain of events led to your decision X instead of Y at time T.
Taken together with this god's omnipotence it's completely unimaginable how his creation can make decisions which he didn't intend.
Of course one could argue that this god is either not omniscient or not omnipotent (or even both) but I don't think most believers want to concede these points.
So IMHO this seems to be just an other case of wanting to eat your cake and have it too.

I was easier to handle when all one needed to say was "The Devil made me do it."
