What valid points? That was a bunch of appeal to metaphor. That was a piece of shit article that mimics that of a theist "It's pretty and gives people meaning".
So? We are not talking about people mistaking the drama of Oedipus as being factual. We are not talking about people claiming the pretty motifs in Harry Potter make Harry Potter real.
We are talking about REAL LIFE. And in real life people, throughout our evolution have concocted all sorts of poisonous placebos and sold them falsely as fact to become political weapons used to divide humanity. The writers argument is the same as pc theists liberals, "What's your problem, there are pretty things in it and it makes them feel good".
Lots of things that can make you feel good are not good for you.
When girls and women are sold into gender roles worldwide, and when Christians, Muslims and Jews are constantly at each other's throats, I think someone does need to step in and say "BULLSHIT".
