Who's idea was fate anyway? Some guy with an imagination... Looks like its just an excuse. "Oh shit, my wife died and I have the plague, while Jim over there struck gold. It must just be fate." "It was fate that we met." blah blah blah... Just because some meaningless concept stuck or was thought up, doesnt make it worthy of discussion.

And free will + God being all knowing can go together with no trouble. Just get rid of your preconceptions about God.
