If they were 'identical' they wouldn't be two imaginary processes but a single imaginary process duplcated. Thus it is not possible to 'compare or contrast' them.

So if there is no difference between them, then if the first imaginary process is immoral, then so it the second.

It doesn't 'precude' it.

Then you agree that anyone can pick up the moral and religious elements in the works.

You seem to be implying that the reader has no choice in the matter

No, you are missing my point. The question was what (general) moral or religious truths from M.E. cannot be hold true by a 'perfectly moral' reader - so far you have presented nothing that precludes this. The cartoons you are reffering to are a false analogy, since they are not trying to convey an immoral idea, but hilarity - if they do try to portray unncessary killings or suffering as acceptable values, then they are immoral.
