the two patients

At my couch, there sits two patients. Islam and Christianity.

Both are psychopaths suffering from a multitude of severe personality disorders. However it is the relationship between the two that is quite extraordinary.

Born in the result of a murder, a crucifixion, Christianity seems to have generated masochist guilt and a sense of culpability. This is better shown in some of the cliches: Jesus suffered because of my sins, Jesus is crying whenever I commit adultery...

It seems Freud was very perceptive in "totem and taboo" when he described the culpability felt by the horde of patricide brothers. It seems guilt is a component of Christianity, never to be abolished as long as the concept of "sin" is tolerated.

Thus Christian communities live in a never ending sense of culpability which generates an undisputed affection and "penchant" for pro-bono humanitarian and salvation (excuse the irony) actions and organizations. Mother Theresa is a fine example of devotion and self annihilation. Christians seem to enjoy this self mortification and self deprivation as it eases their culpability complex.

On the other side of the couch, lies the younger brother of Christianity, a wild son of the desert, Islam. Islam suffers from a victimization syndrome, as he tends to lead life as a continuous victim. Never taking responsibility for his actions (nor his fruits aka fundamentalism and terrorism).

Always feeling as a victim: he is the poor while yet he controls the world Oil. He was victimized in Palestine when they took his land (not to mention al Andalusia nostalgia), he was victimized in Lebanon by the elitist Christian hegemony for decades, and he was deprived of his rights and was always considered a second degree citizen in the entire world. Fact remains the only source of his poorness and his civil status is he is lazy specie only interested in sexual matters and food and leisure. Thus he humps his way to the third millennium with a grudge against all other religions.

The relation between the two is quite extraordinary and I guess u already guessed it.
