You can say that those are the choices I would have made, but by saying that you're basically saying "God looks at what you would have done and makes it what you do." Essentially there is no "would have done" because God's determining the whole thing. And I can't be the one making those choices, because people who don't exist can't make choices. Not even God could do that because it's nonsense along the lines of a green happiness or an invisible pink unicorn.

Poseidon, go boil a pot of water. Stand in front of it and decide whether or not you will immerse your hand in it. You may not think you have free will, but it sure nice to feel like we do!
