Hey folks. Someone made a passing reference in one of our recent religion discussions about how Freud believed that people were too inherently self-centered (or something else) to truly "turn the other cheek" or love others. Can someone point me to some of Freud's writing where he discussed this? I'm hoping our resident Freud scholar can offer some guidance on this!
On a related note, does anyone have a review of the next text, "The Question of God: C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud Debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life"? It's on my list of must-reads but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Rod ______________________________________________ Roderick D.
