Unfortunately my friend I cannot beat subjective impressions.
I can only regret that I gave you such an impression and assure you that such a thing has never been in my intentions: I certainly did not mean to trouble you in the least. Why should have I wished to do such a thing? I don't even know you!
Mine is the default, and actually correct procedure to analyze myths: by analogy. There isn't another way to do it. But if one is not familiar with that field of study (Joseph Campbell, Jung, Levy Strauss, James Frazier, Wendy Doniger etc) and with more than one book or two, I have no doubt one may be puzzled at first.
I'm not sure the psych term, but creating a false dichotomy - an us vs them - improves a group feeling of connectedness. Or you could just say it's a lack of experience/education outside of their own religious culture.
Tit for tat. Not my preferred tactic but when logic fails sometimes bringing yourself down to the opponent's level can open their eyes. I assume you also criticized Litchee for the initial exageration which prompted me to exagerate?
By definition, members in this forum consider Carl Jung still very relevant. Overcompensation is Jungian psychology codified in the DSM-IV even today. No need to move on, but thanks for noting.
