You are begging the question. Whether we believe only truths if determinism is true is exactly what is in question. You have to show that Huemer's inference to this conclusion is invalid or that one of the premises is false, not simply stipulate that the conclusion is false.

Premise 2 in my argument is blatantly obvious. I'm not stipulating some contrived conclusion, I'm just pointing out that clearly, determinism could be true without all of our beliefs being true. There's nothing about determinism that would imply that all of our beliefs are true. This is far easier to defend that any of the premises in Huemer's argument.
