Is Fatalism Worse or Equal to Religion?

The fact that everything is inevitable doesn't mean that you have no control over what you do. That's a common but blatant fallacy. Your control over what you do can be described in deterministic terms. How is that dangerous?

well until the "seemingly" random events of certain aspects of quantum mechanics is explained, we're somewhat in the dark in this discussion

as far as i know this is the only problem with fatalism but I'm sure there are many more

(fatalism is like turning on Madden 2006 and setting up a game between 2 bot(computer controlled) teams... you could know which team will win before the games starts(but that's because computers programs can't be random unlike physics(as far as we know)))
