No Free Will

I truly believe that there is no free will. This is my reasoning for it:

To me free will means we choose our path/destination in life. Free will would give us the choice to choose to go left or right when a fork appears in our road of life.

However God is supposed to be all seeing and all knowing, which i believe in. So if God is all seeing and all knowing God already k ows which path each of us will take. If God knows which path we will take than we have no free will because God already knows whoch path we will choose.

If you claim that you have free will and your path isn't already chosen than you can not claim that Gos is all seeing and all knowing. And by your point of view, God doesn't know all and see all, which would thus make God cease to exist.

This is of course the most simplest way to state what free will is but if you spent half a second thinking about it you'll realize I'm correct. If you disagree you're either closed minded or too ignorant to think it through

"Of course we have free will because we have no choice but to have it."

@BlueSkyKing This is the reality of a Demi God. A true God does not control whether you use free will or not. Hitchens attempted to use logic for his answer but it fails the test.
@BlueSkyKing That sounds like an admission of God's existence. Not a very good one, but . . . . Actually, we do have the choice not to have it. It can be taken away or delegated, but there is need of definition. Does God have free will? What is free will?
