Quote by Sigmund Freud
If the truth of religious doctrines is dependent on an inner experience that bears witness to the truth, what is one to make of the many people who do not have that experience?
Summary
This quote questions the reliability and universal applicability of religious doctrines that claim their truth is validated by a subjective inner experience. It questions how those who lack such experiences should interpret or understand the truth of these doctrines. Essentially, it raises the conundrum of what happens to the validity of religious claims if they are based solely on personal experiences that not everyone shares.
