I would think that anyone who truely held the belief that there is no choice and "Every action has been determined by an unbroken series of prior events." then they would be the most forgiving person because they realize that people are just doing what they must.

Well you'd think so, but the reaction we have is also predetermined, we have the illusion of choice.

If you decide not to get angry because you see all events as already determined then that was determined, of course if you get angry then that was also determined.

That's just my viewpoint though.
