But isn’t it the oldest technique of an effective narrative, to present a mystery to be revealed?  a wrong to be righted?  a threat to be averted? a problem to be solved? a challenge to be faced?

Yes, certainly, I merely let Tee know of the term, to add to her thesis.

The more modernized version of it (from the Dennett youtube I posted earlier today), is making everything “metaphor”. The most liberal Christian out there still won’t say God doesn’t exist, instead, they’ll say the end times are a metaphor. This allows people with widely differing beliefs to coexist in one church. It’s the fine line we’re on today where people think they still have to maintain the illusion or the whole thing will crash. I’d like to see more focus on building the replacement, but I can’t control 7 billion people.
