If God knows the future, the future must already be determined. The future is already determined, we have no control over our future actions. If we have no control over our future actions, we can't be judged based on them. So, either there is no hell, or God is a jerk. About ten seconds later... Struck by lightning? Struck by lightning.

Predetermined free will.

Why does everyone think predetermination excludes free will? Even if God or some oracle knew knew in advance what I would choose to eat for breakfast, it doesn’t change the fact that that decision was of my own free will.

There are an infinite number of futures before us both individually and as a planet. Every decision we make eliminates one or more of those futures. Knowing the future is nothing more than a matter of understanding the decision makers and their circumstances, and let’s face it, humans are quite predictable. As for hell, that certainly would make God a jerk, for what is the purpose of creating the capability to end up there knowing how predictable we seem to have been created to be. No rational being would create a possibility of an occurrence that they did not want to be able to occur and if they wanted it to be possible, then how mad could they be when it happens?
