If I kill Robert and eat his penis and testicles then I will cure my impotence." No, this makes no sense. So why does this make sense to so many people: "If I kill an animal that is just a symbol of virility - I have no knowledge of how many offspring it has - and eat parts of it, then I will cure my impotence." Animism is wrong. Besides, if you are impotent and a true believer in an organized superstition, then isn't the impotence all part of your imaginary super being's plan? Why are you meddling with it? Hmm? Why? Does this make sense to you: “Robert has fathered
10 children. If I kill Robert and eat his penis and
testicles then I will cure my impotence.”

No, this makes no sense.

So why does this make sense to so many people: “If
I kill an animal that is just a symbol of virility – I
have no knowledge of how many offspring it has -
and eat parts of it, then I will cure my impotence.”

Animism is wrong.

Besides, if you are impotent and a true believer in
an organized superstition, then isn’t the impotence
all part of your imaginary super being’s plan? Why
are you meddling with it? Hmm? Why?

Until any particular nugget of alternative medicine has been properly tested, it's worse than a placebo. Placebos are guaranteed to be harmless, but I don't see that you can be so sure about big lumps of strange plant matter. That’s a very rosy picture you paint there, mate.
