Consequently, I'm only acting out the script that was predestined by him and his knowledge of my future thoughts and actions.  I can not have a thought or action counter to his previous knowledge of them.

I'm basically a movie character in a movie he has already watched.

Try watching a movie and see how many times it changes.  ****

* Omniscience
** Omnipotence, if done. Although that presupposes there is no free choice
*** If you view time as linear, yes. You are correct.
**** That's why I don't think it's a good example. A movie, by definition, is created. People are told what to do, they do it and someone edits it to make sure it's how they imagined it. Although I still think it's off, a play is a better example. People are given a basis and can follow as close or loose as they like while the director can always correct the show or stop it.
