Freud and the Fall

Freud and the Fall

The theories Freud pose clearly reveals our tendency to sin and therefore maintain a sinful structure throughout our lives.  When the Fall of Man occurred we were stripped of our right to a perfect existence, because of this Fall, Freud portrayed in his psychological theories that we as a people become sinful in nature at a young age.  This is only possible by Man’s inability to manage a complete and fulfilling lifestyle.  Freud suggests that as children, the stages that we cannot fully develop through cause our sin to manifest at a later age.  In a perfect world with no sin, our development would be unblemished.  For instance, people who struggle with developing self-awareness and self -confidence, were in Freud’s theory stuck in the phallic stage.  The Phallic stage occurs between the ages of 3 and 6 and if individuals are not allowed by some force to move on from this stage, occurrences such as promiscuity and women and overly aggression in men.  If we were a society of Godly creatures, these issues would not exist.  The evidence of the Fall of Man is clearly portrayed in Freud’s Psychoanalytic theories.
