Joshua Loth Liebman Quotes

Religion Must Now Recognize That Our Deep Antisocial Impulses When Denied And Repressed Do Not Disappear Miraculously From Reality; The More We Treat Them Like Criminals, The More Vengeance They Take Against Us. Adults Who Strive For Total Repression Of Their Impulses In The Realm Of Imagination Wreak Havoc Either On Their Bodies Or Their Spirits.
The Religion Of The Future Should Take A Page From The Notebook Of The Psychotherapist, Encouraging Men To Tolerate Their Unacceptable Impulses, To Sublimate Them, And At The Same Time To Discipline Themselves To A Finer And More Generous Program Of Action. It Must Strengthen Mature Men And Women To Realize That Everyone Has Desires And Fantasies Antisocial In Nature. Only When Their Presence Is Acknowledged Rather Than Repressed Can They Be Prevented From Exercising Dominion Over Us In The Realm Of Action.
