The Christian holds on to the bible story from Genesis to Revelation,
with the Jesus Story as its core, is "inclusive myth" that enables
comprehensive understanding of the meaning of life and its possibilities..

I'm not sure if you are arguing this point, or simply saying that the
Christian believes this to be true, but this is the fallacy of
exclusion I was referring to; namely that the "Jesus story" (as with
any and all other particular stories) alone does NOT enable
comprehensive understanding of the meaning of life and its
possibilities. That adherents believe it does is a malady we can lay
at the feet of the "priests". No one would ever argue that a
comprehensive understanding of life and its possibilities could be
derived from one Cezanne, and the same applies to any particular
myth-narrative. This is not to say there is not a wealth of metaphor
and meaning in the "Jesus story", but that no narrative can ever be
"all-inclusive". One finger can never point the way all by itself.
And to get caught up in that, to focus on one finger, is exactly the
problem with exoteric, or literal, reads of myth.

I think MoQ can help critique quality of living and the quality of
responses to Mythos.

I think so too.
