Being an atheist absolutely does not rule out being gullible & easily misled. This is shown by the number of atheists who take on irrational & unevidenced beliefs on the far-left, far-right, spiritual, postmodern, pseudoscientific & Jungian-archetype-mixed-with-bible-stories. https://twitter.com/scarce_sense/status/985448699084992518 …

I think ur, not so subtle swipe at Jordan Peterson is a mistake. The archetypes provide moral structure without requiring literal belief in a personal God.

Yes, I know but I'm not claiming it doesn't do that. I'm claiming it is not rational and evidence-based, as does he. He calls it the affective reality of the mythic world -feelings produced by stories.

Yes but radical PoMo feminist ideas are destructive in that as JBP would say, “they deconstruct the nature of being.” Why make positive ideas equivalent with horrible ideas? Provable or not. Sorry if I’m missing you.

I'm not making the ideas equivalent. I'm saying the same epistemology about truth being constructed by narratives is used by pomo and Peterson. I didn't make either of them do that. I just observe that they do.

Do you think truth can not be expressed in story?

Truth and falsity can be conveyed in a narrative. It's important to establish which they are if you can. If you can't, don't claim them to be true. Just say they have meaning for you if they do.
