He didn't 'make' the path, we choose it. That is what 'free will' is. And that's what MY God allows me, the freedom to choose my path.

The one you have 'chosen' to disbelieve in may not give you free will, but MY God is not that god.

That He is 'all everything' also means that He has the power to allow free will. And I believe that He does allow us that freedom. I don't believe in your god.

At the end of mortal life, looking back, yes, there is only one path. But that path is made up by the 'choices' made during that life. Choices, once made, cannot be altered. But those 'choices' are still ours to make. You say He "cannot give free will because His will is imposed on His creations." That sounds like you are limiting Him. I say He can give us free will. Being omnipotent, He does have the power to do that. You are being a little contradictory with your statements. He is either omnipotent or He is not. I choose is. 
Omnipotence is contradictory itself, its a label that was given to him to add to his image of awe. It is an impossibility because it is falls in on itself with contradictory, and even in his position as God, there is nothing that could or can be omnipotent. You are also limiting your God because by accepting free will you are accepting that God cannot not give us free will. There that is something he cannot do, aswell as not being able to control his existence.

The omnipotence that I believe my God has, has no restrictions or limits that I can comprehend. The questions you raise are purely from a human standpoint. Does this god you don't believe in have human traits? (read your signature, the first six words are very true)
