Luther's 'I can do no other' refutes libertarian responsibility

Luther's declaration 'I can do no other' shows that responsibility does not require an undetermined choice: Luther is not ducking responsibility but saying he was determined to do this, yet it is still a free decision; it is a crazy fantasy to insist there must have been some earlier absolutely undetermined fork in his childhood for his action to count as responsible.
