Fatalism is the thing you're describing when you talk about determinism...and claim that it is ridiculous.

I have no idea what you are referring to. I didn't post anything on fatalism on this thread.
Except that a second ago you mentioned it, and I responded. My response did not adduce fatalism as an epistemic foundation for Yahweh.
Whose posts are you reading?
Everytime you yammer on about "determinism this" and "determinism that" and "atheistic reductionism" the other.....you've been describing the content of a fatalist, and not deterministic, world.
