Psychology, The Theology Of Idolatry

In a world without God there is no need for Theology. There is no need to know God in a world from which He has been expelled.
In a world of Humanism, Theology has been replaced by Psychology,  Sin by Sickness, Repentance by Therapy, the embodiment of the Holy One in the bread and the wine, by the redemption of the pill, washed down by a glass of water.
In a world of the Self, the Humanist goes mad.
Ever since the beginning of humanity people have gazed around themselves in awe and wonder, conscious of a Being infinitely greater than themselves. 
The oldest preoccupation of mankind is to know this Being.
And so, people of old studied the stars, looking as far beyond themselves as they possibly could.
The oldest preoccupation of Mankind is knowing God.
But the oldest preoccupation of Power is to keep people passive, afraid, inward looking, cowering in the shadows.
And so temples, churches, cathedrals, mosques were introduced by the Powerful in an attempt to limit and restrain Mankind's yearning for God. Faith was institutionalized. Faith was replaced by a moral code, drawn up to bolster Power.
For many hundreds of years the thugs and the kings, the priests, the Brahmins, the Buddhas,  the imams, have fought the battle for atheism to shield the people from the power of the Almighty.
They see victory in their sights. Who seeks God these days? In churches and mosques worshippers appear more preoccupied with their own conduct than with looking to know God.
It is all about the Self.
I, me, and Myself, the beginning, the middle and the end, the Holy Trinity of the Madman, is the greatest wonder for modern Humanity.
To gaze at our navels in awesome wonder is our greatest thrill.
The preoccupation of regimented humanity is to know Oneself.
Psychology is the science of the Worship of Man, the theology of idolatry.
