Q&A #6: Question two

The second question I had during this week was about the nature of ethics in a deterministic universe. I am unsettled by the idea that we could remove all responsibility from our actions simply because a particular state of affairs was determined to happen. My resolution to this problem looks something like this, when a moral decision for me arrives, I arrive at that state of affairs due to the antecedent events which preceded it. If this is true, and in a previous state of affairs I was taught that stealing was wrong, then could we not blame me for stealing because the previous state of affairs should have influenced me to not steal? I guess I am speculating about whether a person's learned moral code counts as a previous event which should then influence the event in which I face a moral dilemma. Perhaps I am not articulating this properly but let me know if any of you have any thoughts about my hypothesis here.
