How very interesting, an article from a Christian (with a capital C) site called (of all things!)called Leadership U.
Here is part of their "About Us" page:
Our Purpose
The purpose of Leadership U. is to equip students, faculty and other leaders to minister effectively in the modern world. We are building a growing community of Christians involved in reaching the world. We are helping Christians think and apply a biblical worldview to the issues in modern society.
Since its inception in August 1995, Leadership U. has seen steady growth. Our database has grown to more than 6,600 outstanding resources. LU receives nearly three million hits per month representing 300,000 visitors.
However, we need your help.
And even more amazing is that the author, the venerable
"Professor"(note the lack of degrees following his name) P. Vitz appears to have spent a great deal of research effort in "proving" Freud's attraction to Christianity. Here are a few other of the "Professor's" articles, all of which focus on the Jewish Sigmund Freud's "Christian unconscious". Despicable.
It is unclear whether "Professor" Vitz ever studied Freudian theory (or graduated from high school, for that matter), but I can tell you his understanding of the function of the Oedipus complex is laughable.
