Doesn't it stand to reason that if an omnicient God created me and knew I would be Atheist before I was born, then it must mean he created me for the express purpose of being an atheist....Who are preaching religionists to interfere with god's plan for my atheist life?

Albeit, God created Adolph Hitler to be a tyrant.

This is not a answer to your question but to the responses that I've read because I agree with you 400%. I just have a question to add.
Why would "god" create free will if he knew we were going to reject him, why didn't he just make us all choose him? Was "satan" jealous that "god" would get all the glory? maybe I should ask this in my own question and waste my own 5pts. Oh wait because that's what athiests do, "steal" and "have no regards for others".

Not at all. God created us for many purposes, and one of them was to believe in Him and to be His followers.
The fact that you made a different choice doesn't mean that God intended it or designed it.
Taking your logic further, one could argue that God created Charles Manson to be a murderer. But, only the biggest raging anti-religionists would even dare make such a claim.
God gave us free will, and thus we are responsible for the choice we make when exercising that free will. God didn't want you to be an atheist -- that's something that you decided all by yourself.

the way I understand the question is, 'Can God substitute, what he commonplace before everything?' And why might he motivate a e book, that demands human beings to repent whilst they're doomed no be counted what they say or do. And why might a guy or woman destined to heaven, even hassle to repent? the sole possible answer to an obvious quandary seems to be; God is waiting on your reaction, and has given you the flexibility to shape eternity. even in the experience that your destiny is hell, or heaven, that eternity would be certain on your determination. Will the fires of hell be cooler, for people who've repented? And, will the wings of those in heaven be smaller, for people who did no longer? Jesus concept John B became going to have a lesser place in heaven, i think of this is with the help of the fact John became a noisy-mouth....

He doesn't mind at all if you are an atheist. (Really!) He set it up so you'd just keep reincarnating back into this toilet bowl, until you eventually decide you've had enough and want to come back home. He created "the lower worlds" for those who feel more comfortable here. He *wants* you to be happy. And if you ever change your mind, there are the higher planes ...

How'd you come up with that, King David said speaking of God: My bones were not hidden from you When I was made in secret, When I was woven in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw even the embryo of me, And in your book all it's parts were down in writing, As regards the days when they were formed. Psalms 139:15,16 God does not peer into the future to see who will be, but know and sees from the moment of our conception, God does not cause us to come into being or decide in advance what we will become, that's were free will comes into play. Don't try and blame God for the way you turn out, that's up to you.

No matter how many times someone says "free will," their deity still would have had to create the concept of non belief for it to exist! So then it was for a reason...so either it's just fine to be us, or their deity is actually bad that he/she/it would create things in order to hate it. Which makes it all sound not real....wonder why....

God created you and knew you before you were born, yes. He did not create you to be an atheist. You chose that. He knew you would be an atheist, but He gave you free will to do and believe whatever you choose.

Yes, God created you. Your parents were to guide and teach you the way. But you are the one who chose to go to Athiests way of thinking. It was your choice, not God's. Your questioin contradicts yourself. I am a Christian and I don't want to interfere with your plans. But when it comes to challenging a Christian and debate what you believe in, I will debate with you. I will debate to the end in defense of blaming God. I know many who are Athiests and I try not to step on their toes. I respect them for their full beliefs, but I don't want them to continually step on me.

He knew, but for some reason seems to think humans are capable of using their free will wisely, so He gives it to us regardless of the fact that we're too ignorant for it.
