nlc-more on the illusory power of self determination in a fixed spiral universe

Having disproved organized religion mathematically (although very far from disproving the existence of god) I want to go on to discuss how important self determination and how irrelevant regret even though the former is illusory and the event leading to the latter are fixed in eternity.
I suppose to some extent I have revived the god of lucretius, but in another i have done just the opposite.  God need not care about us at all, because we are only acting according to the laws of physics which, according to NLC means that everything that will happen has already happened and this leads inexorably to everything happening at once and therefore continuing to happen into eternity although it did take some time to get there.  Certainly any man-made religion based on events withing the fixed, non-varying time continuum of the fixed spiral universe woudl involve nothing more than pre-destined, already occurred events.  No "faith" based religion would be relevant to a god who designed in advance.  At the same time, counter to lucretius, if there is a god designed universe, than all the minutia was designed in advanced.  Such a god would be interested in every event, but having designed it, would have very little interest in "faith" because it could put as much faith forward as it wanted in whatever religion it wanted.  To think that by following some other pre-programmed mime that you were somehow acting outside of the programming is as absurd as true self determination, that is determination based on a universe with randomness that excludes physics/mathematics.
Now, that being said, it is equally important to understand the importance of the illusion of self determination.
Everything you've ever done wrong, had to happen.  No reason to feel guilt or remorse.  If you're reading this on your death bed, after some horrible humiliation, on your way to the electric chair, doesn't matter.  All that led to that was going to happen according to the laws of physics just as everything that follows will.  But now, having been forced by physics to realize this, the next moments, at least in an illusory sense, are yours to do whatever you want with.  You have no regret about the past which had to happen.  The future, if every moment is fixed, will exist into eternity, imagine what you can do with any moment, no matter what your situation.  Since only the moment matters, it doesn't matter what the consequences are of acting correctly, your fear of the future is as irrelevant as your fear of the past.  Both are fixed, both largely irrelevant.
Even if you are to die in hours, you have moments which are yours forever.  You can share whatever is there to be shared, do whatever you need to do.  You can do what you know is right, or you can just think on what is right until you come up with it.  You can share wisdom (like me) or not if that's what is right.
You could, for example, forgive me.  You could call me.  Of course, you could never call me too, that's something.  And imagine how confused the designer of the universe would be if for just an instant everyone were to love rather than hate their enemies.  We cannot do that unless we are programmed to do it according to physics, but imagine how confusing it would be anyway.
