This whole conversation is purely a hypothetical enterprise for the purposes of edification and entertainment as far as I'm concerned.

To go on a bit, this free will v. omniscience question is not a moral one, because at no point is the omniscient being described as anything other than omniscient. It is not judgemental, merely all-knowing. It's all very straight forward: If an omniscient being exists, can we have free will?

I say yes, and I've tried to illustrate it several times with the "Bob can chose vanilla, but he won't." type examples. Thus far your response has been "No, he can't." Not a whole lot to work with in that response.
