Somewhere in the world there is a Calvinist crying himself to sleep

Molinism... disgusting.

God predestined all things to work after the counsel of His will, and no one can change this (Ephesians 1:11).

God predestined some to be vessels of wrath, and others to be vessels of mercy, and they can't change this (Romans 9:21-24).

God predestined Joseph's brothers to do what they did, and they couldn't change that (Genesis 50:20).

God predestined Assyria to attack Israel and for Assyria to be destroyed for doing what God predestined them to do, and they couldn't change that (Isaiah 10:1-14).

God predestined Herod Antipas, Pontius Pilate, the Jews, and the Romans to murder Jesus, and they couldn't have done otherwise (Acts 4:27-28).

God predestined every dice roll's outcome and the wicked to be wicked and judged, and nothing could change that (Proverbs).

God is sovereign. Man is not. Man's will is constrained by the determined plan of God, and they will still be held accountable because they wanted to do what God predestined them to do.
