Dub, I don't think he was challenging you to a pissing contest. I don't understand why you are acting so offended. The ideas he talked about follow logic of notable merit but perhaps have not been proven to the point of being strong theories. I think Matthew Alper's notion of the "God part of the brain" makes really good sense. You should read his book on it.

Also, psychoanalysis is not completely dead. It is true that a lot of Freud's "theories" are ridiculous, but some of them do hold water. I think many of his theories on the ways the subconscious manifests itself through various means to form defense mechanisms are right. The subconscious is very real, and Freud was one of the pioneering explorers of it. Many of his conclusions and methods for dealing with the subconscious are still highly regarded in psychology and practiced by psychologists, but it is true that the full specifics of his overall methods have mostly fallen.
