The thing is TD this isn't any secular equivalent of "The Good News" to tell us... and your God analogies are failures because you use them to dismiss actual arguments that I've made when they don't even touch my arguments. Furthermore when a metaphor is based on something obnoxious, like the God shit, it becomes equally obnoxious.
And this "Good News" of the intrinsic goodness and badness of subjective experience for each and everyone.... isn't something I'm going to respond to with like "Wow." It's something I'm going to respond to with "Duh. Yawn. I've thought about this for years and you haven't even corrected all the errors I used to make yet." You're like Diet Coke to me.
In a word... it's "subpar".
