I'm also sick of hearing people say, "God never gives you more than you can handle."

I know people who have been driven batshit insane by what God has given them.

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"
