i think that you're confusing some things like the message of a story and the story itself. when is a story ever untrue? the concept of a story itself being "true" simply makes no sense. i may consider the message of a story to be true to my experience, but you just as well may consider my interpretation of the message to be wrong.

and i'll just say that it's interesting that you mention how you see jp as disregarding the "objective truth." from my understanding he makes it very clear that he sees certain behaviors (gender norms, racial norms, economic norms, etc) as objectively true aspects of human nature, reinforced by the bible stories and such. so again i'm not sure what you're getting at. jp is a weak academic and an even weaker story teller. whether or not you get something out of it does not change anything.
