Greetings John,
How has the "casting off the theological determinism which dominated
thought for too long." gone too far?

John:
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.
