Sometimes what people say is just bullshit
"Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." (Probably never said by Sigmund Freud).
I would say that sometimes - in fact, sadly, quite often - what people say is just bullshit.
Only believe things for which there is evidence.
Show me conclusive evidence for the truth of anything that Freud said and I will be very surprised.

Freud on religion
January 2018.
Whilst I fully support any rejection of religion and any opposition to religion, I feel that Fraud's analysis of what religion consists of was dogmatic and basically mistaken. His prophecy of its inevitable demise, whilst possibly true, and, indeed, hopefully true, is not necessarily scientific.
I believe that his dismissal of religion was not necessary, helpful or original.
He may have been right in his dismissal of religion, but his actual analysis of religion is incorrect and too deeply involved in his fundamentally flawed overall view of human life.
Overall, Fraud's work is still fundamentally a load of bullshit, like religion itself.
I seek to reject and move beyond irrational thinking of all kinds, and I feel that Fraud's thinking is, in all its manifestations, an obvious and glaring example of irrational thinking.
I still believe that this blog is a fully justified and serious comment on the work of Fraud.
