Well I've got to take off, but my point as you may have gathered, is that god is usually described by christians as both having freewill, and being omnipotent, which means he can predict the future perfectly.

I would hope that we could reasonably agree that this is a logical contradiction.

At the same time, these are both things most Christians accept.

I'm sure you could come up with some sort of way to rationalize this contradiction, but we could probably agree that most christians do not really explore this free will/omnipotence contradiction.

This would be evidence of an absence of critical thought in the Christian community. Now whether or not God exists, does it say anything at all, that most people who subscribe to Christianity, do not involve themselves in this basic critical thinking?
