Quote by Tony Campolo
Who's to say that there is any more support for Freud's psychoanalytic concept of the superego than there is for that old time religion that asserted that there is a God who ordains what is right and wrong, and that His righteousness endures for all generations?
Summary
This quote questions the validity of Freud's psychoanalytic concept of the superego by comparing it to the belief in God's moral authority. It suggests that there may be no more evidence or substantial support for the existence of the superego as there is for religious beliefs in an eternal and righteous God. It challenges the notion that Freud's theories hold more credibility or empirical backing compared to religious beliefs, drawing attention to the uncertainty surrounding both concepts.
