I'm researching a paper on Freud's writings on religions and chanced upon this clip. And I'm glad I did--the professor is engaging and informative. I especially appreciated her many illustrations; she's down-to-earth and I could relate to her examples. She also does a nice job of placing the questions in context (eg, the rise of Darwinism threatening religious belief). Here's hoping The Great Courses talent scouts are searching YouTube and find their way here.
Science in no way consoles me with the reality of life, nor does it offer any solutions to any of the problems my family or i face in the reality of day to day life. i sometimes find a solution myself or manage to console myself by being realistic. i tried very hard once or twice to find consolement or answers by way of religeon or spiritual belif but that didnt measure up to simply being realistic. the rest of the time, reality just plain sucks and u have to take it on chin. thats just life
Consoling someone has gone out of the window due to numerous medical procedures that resolve the problem. Now religion interferes with the normal operation of capable daily lives with their own meaning and extended purpose. The list of management principles available now start to supersede those older limitations.

Very interesting and helpful - exam tomorrow on this and this is far more understandable than Freud and Jung's book on religion!
Thanks
