Not Convinced Determinism Makes Sense of Moral Responsibility. Convince Me It Does

Haha I'm definitely no undercover apologist. I take any association to religion to be insulting as I view the average person's religious faith terribly intellectually dishonest and often times downright stupid and worse. That said, I did grow up in a uber-evangelical setting and thus fear that I will forever have the "What if I'm wrong" questions imprinted somewhere in the back of my head. Don't get me wrong, I never entertain the idea that Christianity or whatever religion could possibly be right, but its some form of extreme skepticism always forcing me to re-examine the rationality of my own B.S. (belief system).
