No matter how well you point out the paradox (if God knows everything that will happen, free will doesn't exist, because everything is predetermined, just like a fully written book), a significant portion of christians will simply ignore and keep circling between "but God gave us free will" and "God knows everything"

Try us. I’m curious! The theological answers I know don’t really fundamentally solve the issue, just reword and skirt around it

Every theological answer I have seen seems to underestimate what omnipotence is. It would cost an omnipotent god nothing to make life better for people and there would be nothing lost.

Libs: The religious concept of "free will" is fundamental to our ideology because it justifies prisons, wars, exploitation, colonialism, etc. Historically it's all the same thing.
