The Mysterious Plot of God

There is a difference between seeing God's mysterious ways as illogical versus nonlinear. Illogical implies incoherence due to a fundamental contradiction. Nonlinear gives room for the possibility of coherence being revealed in a nonsequential manner.

Story lovers rightly complain at a narrative that is finished but illogical in its fundamentally incoherent storyline. On the other hand, they experience narrative excitement in being delightfully outsmarted by the author when a story is finished with a plot twist that restores coherence in a satisfying nonlinear sequence.

Mirages that maintain their deceptive power over society are not dispelled by yelling at them. They are dispelled by verbalized wisdom that is perceptive and discerning.

An effective cultural critic takes her mental bow and arrow, perceptively takes aim, and fires her sharp observations at the Achilles Heel of social frameworks that project shared hallucinations onto society.
