myths of good vs bad light vs dark and duality work for our culture.
the notion of "god" as an intelligence thats even remotely human is a primitive notion. our brains cant conceptualize the source of everything or infinity.
the idea of good vs bad and duality is a mindset based in conflict and the source of most human ills. getting beyond these simplistic concepts of angels and devils luke vs vader as entertaining as they are our relatively new in human history and really only relevant to civilized cultures and our mind patterns.
we tend to anthropomorphize anything and everything in order for our brains to wrap around difficult concepts.
bad reptillians good sirians bad greys good nordics heroes villains yin yang.
everything has a purpose good or bad and its all relative. a bunny views a wolf as bad -a plant views the bunny as bad, and the wolf as the hero and the earth views them all as part of it (the source) from which all those things will return. (hey i just made that analogy/metaphor up!)
anyhow for me personally myths are interesting but to really think outside "the box" i have to think beyond them.
