I'm not altogether certain that a fundamentalism of necessity has to argue that it is the only reading of the human experience in order to stay alive.

But today we become aware of other readings of the human experience very quickly because of the media and the speed with which people travel the planet.

And these two elements are at odds with one another because Freud is utterly adversary to almost all the ways of structuring the human experience found in Western religions. No Western religion can countenance Freud's view of man.

It is inconceivable to me that a million or three million or half a million human beings will think and feel precisely the same way on any single subject.

the object was not to stay alive but to stay human.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
