Fortune's wheel ever-revolving in set combinations is a classical idea. Islam conflated the secular order with the religious one - and so was stultified. This is a deep divide. For Christians the world is that tragic story of suffering and the Cross. You ought to try to improve it - but don't get cocky and assume you'll get it right.
Pessimists fearing the worst can still have fun.
Optimists assuming the best can end up as disillusioned cynics. But even at this complacent worst Christians do not resemble the disfiguring fiction of English liberal fantasy - a substitute for knowledge and an opportunity for vulgar abuse.
