I think you and Lola have great points - I am just taken aback by how the Psychology field seems to think this guy was a god and he spent his life belittling people who who simply had belief systems that involved feelings and emotions and even a moral system. I've always thought that the field was way more evolved than that. But you both bring up great points.
