I hear god keeps a cat which is alive, or dead, at the same time, in a 
box.

(Of course, then, free will is still just whichever random path you 
happen to stumble down, it's not like all the possible stumbling 
outcomes aren't already concurrently known/not-known by omniscience...)

I hear god also likes to play dice on the box top.
