Besides, just because God can overcome everything doesn’t mean that He always does. ‘God’s will’ is not synonymous with ‘any way you want it’—in other words, the King of Kings is not the ‘Burger King’ shill. Besides, most fast food probably isn’t kosher….debate over. I’m getting hangry.” Person Two: “I guess that we’re not going to Burger King either way, though.”
