Narrative: Contrary to the common view that Narrativists live by
the dictates of some unseen and vengeful God, they actually base their
decisions and live their lives based upon a Narrative, of which a petty
and vindictive God is always a feature. Whether it be a fundamentalist
zealot or rigid Objectivist, Narrativists always have a narrative that
determines everything they say, think, or do. Narrative is the true god
of the Narrativist, which is why what God actually says or does in their
scripture has very little practical worth. What Narrativists care about
is what God (or a force of nature; say, for Objectivists, the free
market) should be doing according to the narrative. No matter what is
actually happening, they will believe and behave as if the narrative is
playing out exactly as they expected it to. Regardless of actual real
world circumstances, outcomes, situations, or influence, Narrativists
always prioritize the preservation of and adherence to the narrative above all other considerations.
