Greetings Marsha,

Hmmm,  what would the pragmatic implications be?   Do you mean for
everybody, or just myself?

Because I was thinking that if everybody else believed that, I could do
stuff like kick them in the shins and take their wallet and buy a
cheeseburger and they couldn't complain at all.  Being God's will and all
that.

And I suppose if I fully believed it myself, I could still do the same
thing.  But either way I'd probably suffer the consequences of my actions
and land in jail and have to accept that as God's will also.  I don't know
if it'd make much functional difference in my life so I guess I'd have to
say I really have no personal preference.

But thanks for asking.
