I'm not talking about whether we do. I'm just saying how ultimate moral responsibility doesn't make any sense if there is no "free will". And whether free will exists or not is a question of fact, not values. So whether it's the "easy" way out or not is completely irrelevant.

Can't you ever? Are you going to put the question of "should you ever put something all into one basket"? into one basket and hence contradict yourself?
You can do some thinking and ask yourself why on earth some things would be fated and others not.
A rock is always a rock and never not a rock, I'll put that into one basket thank you very much. Tautologies have to be true otherwise they're not tautological.
