As an aside, I've always felt that an omniscient god, by definition, obviates free will.
Me too. To me the most crucial feature of free-will is the idea that one "could have chosen otherwise". If God is omniscient the universe must be deterministic hence you couldn't have chosen otherwise.
But then again, many serious thinkers disagree that determinism destroys free-will...
