This makes sense if you assume that God is not almighty. If he is though, then he would know which decisions you will make (and would make in every possible situation).

Bolded: That's my point. Some people are born to go to hell.

Pardon me, but I think you have the definition of almighty confused. You seem to be attributing almighty with the fact that God chooses everything and doesn't allow anyone to choose, while it is clearly stated that man is a special creation who do have the will to choose.

As for the hell comment, if we had a sealed fate then no one would be going to hell. For example animals who have a sealed fate will all go to heaven IIRC, none of the angels who also have a sealed fate (of serving god without question) go to hell. So if humans had a sealed fate then god would make the fate be such that it doesn't make them end up in hell because by definition god is the most merciful, the most loving, the most kind. Simply put there would be no evil. Hell is one of the direct consequences of free will and it is there (while in this life) to encourage you to steer clear of the evil deeds that free will presents you with. God knows best.

That is false. God has given every man and woman the ability to choose whatever they'd like. But, if He really is almighty then he should be able to predict every single choice they make before they make them.

Underlined: Then why do some people spent their entire life in misery? That doesn't sound very merciful to me.
