Arguments for Determinism

I know there are determinists here. I know you have reasons for your holding that position. So, you set 'em up, I'll knock 'em down. Link, copy-and-paste, or just old fashioned type your argument in the little box.

Compatibilists are also welcome to throw arguments into the spinning buzz saw that is my critical thinking ability.

Thanks in advance for the entertainment.

Q: Why didn't you address (post x) that I made in response to you nine minutes ago???

A: Because I have (a) a job, (b) familial obligations, (c) social obligations, and (d) probably a lot of other atheists responded to the same post you did, since I am practically the token Christian on this site now. Be patient, please.

Your own arguments have been

Your own arguments have been beaten down so often. Do you really think that you have any standing to take on someone else's arguments?
