Also, perhaps your indignation/anger/fear is a result of already being manipulated and controlled? A threat, alone, doesn't evoke such a strong response.
Well, in many cases I would support that to be the case but that's not the idea of control that I was referencing in this particular argument. Rather, it always seemed to me that those who champion free will and the perfect omniscience of God at the same time were rather hypocritical. I only point out that if a being is omniscient (as well as omnipotent) that he/she/it must know everything that is happening, everything that has ever happened and everything that ever will happen. Therefore, no matter how you look at the timeline (linear continuity, web of choice and paths, parallel dimensions, etc.) God must know all possible permutations of the space-time continuum. Therefore, he must know exactly how events will take place and what will happen at any moment to any person. Ergo, there can be no free will if true omniscience exists because if the future is known then it is predetermined and therefore immutable. I personally don't have a problem with this, it seems to me that if I'm going to be trusting my fate to anyone besides me it

Alas no...which is good, 'cause that stuff is too sweet anyway...we have something new, umm...Banana Strawberry, or something like that. Dun remember. Charlee and Jasmine are leaving for a WEEK. Leaving me and two new people to work every night and try not to get robbed or set the store on fire. A WEEK. Anyway. Is it snowing yet?
