Speaking of Freud...here's an interesting quote of his:
"If the believer finally sees himself obliged to speak of God's 'inscrutable decrees', he is admitting that all that is left to him as a last possible consolation and source of pleasure in his suffering is an unconditional submission. And if he is prepared for that, he could probably have spared himself the detour he has made."
That's the opening quote from the book I'm currently reading: Hoodwinked and Happy: Evangelicals, Calvinism, and why no one's answering the problem of evil.
Oh snap! I'd forgotten about this!
