Freud Explains God

If Freud is accurate, that the hidden desires of human beings makes every human a hopeless case, in that, a group of humans are a mass of evil. If anything allows them to tap into their hidden desires, then evil emerges. Well, assuming this is absolutely true, it shows why 90% of the population "needs" god. Every society is diverse; people talk differently, dress differently, value different ideas, and yet we all turn to the dude upstairs. We say we turn to god to 'explain' the unknown, however I think this is just an intellectual justification of why we believe in god. "God created the world because he did' is not an explanation. Evolution offers a much more of an in-depth explanation of how the world was created, and is a theory based on logic. Yet this 90% of humans still turn to god for the answers. Why?

I think its because they know that they 'need' god because it provides them a reason why *they* should not sin (kill/steal/lie...etc). People that turn to god do so because they know that if they engage in evil (or do bad deeds) then they will go to Hell. That burny firey miserable place that no ones wants to end up for eternity. Internal logic must go something like this: *I want to stay out of Hell. This is the reason why I should not act on my desires to kill/steal. Since God is the top of my list of ideas I live by, God MUST have created the world, and so evolution HAS to be wrong. Even though evolution makes Logical sense, and I can't dismiss it because it explains to much, however the main idea that I NEED in my life is the idea of Heaven & Hell and therefore, God takes first priority in any ideas I will entertain. Therefore evolution has to be wrong, somehow. "

And for humans that don’t understand the theory of evolution, they don’t go through this internal battle at all. For them, God IS a logical explanation and it works for their limited understanding of logic.

Of course there is a way out of this belief in God. Listening to your conscience about the difference in good or evil is less limiting than following a holy book, or that *MAN* standing on podium telling you that he's more knowledgeable about the idea of god. Alas, people will do whatever works best for them, and God will always work for the masses.

...unless we can replace God with capitalism. However, Capitalism praises money, not the means of obtaining money. Therefore, society is better off with Go, because 'obtain money by any means necessary is not a society I want to live in'. However I'm getting the feeling that I already do.
