Default Re: Is Fatalism Worse or Equal to Religion?

[ QUOTE ]
You are saying something could have happened other than what did happen. In doing so, you are assuming that determinism is false. According to determinism, no other action can take place other than the one that does.

I think we are going to need another variant of determinism to allow for QM randomness. As I see it, a cause doesn't necessarily result in a particular effect -- it can result in a range of effects, with each one having a certain probability.

So, how is determinism different from fatalism? And is ther another "ism" that allows for QM randomness?
