Seriously, there's nothing more doggedly (and depressingly) deterministic than a universe ruled by a god whose prophets have already told us (albeit rather vaguely) how everything will end no matter what any of us want or choose to do. Physicists also have a deterministic outlook, but at least they admit we don't really know what's going to happen.
