Religion covers Mythology with all its Symbols, the Psychology of the People, and the biggest mystery of the creation of new Life with the sexual activity which is connected to this process of procreation.

The Philosophy of Religion. Religious feelings are a psychological phenomenon which provides a pleasure comparable with narcotics. [ Brain scans prove this statement]. Mental activities are private and occur in the Unconscious mental structures which can express them via the Conscious ways of Language and attitude. What stimulates the Religious Thought is the freedom to phantasies which can provide satisfaction and pleasure. The primary sexual impulse which is active in the Unconscious can easily be activated in these religious phantasies. This is in line with the glorification, idealization and the creation of idols and Universalities. The birth of Gods and the supreme One and Only God is the finality of this process. God is the 3
most complete and perfect of the phantasies which we as humans can make. To be able to associate oneself whit this God is the ultimate religious ecstasy. These mental processes are more in line with the Female psychology than with the Male mentality. Also, the link to the sexual is here valid. In the female orgasm, a woman does not experience her lover; it is the satisfaction for the endless Longing. Her lover is only a means to reach that climax. The Longing which is a process in the Unconscious has its equivalent in the Conscious as LOVE. In Christianity will Love make the human as a God, and make from the God as a human being. Love weakens the strong and makes the weak strong. Two coincidences have helped Christianity to become so successful in history. These elements are in line with modern psychoanalysis. 4
First, there is a demarcation between the Unconscious and the Conscious which is reflected in the individual and the collective behavior of the people. This creates a Political feeling which will incorporate Power. The fact that in the religious process we can express the elusive gets a broad support by the masses, something that easily can be exploited politically. Beside this psychological argument, Christianity built its power also by offering a political power base to balance the worldly historical powers with similar structures of management of goods and income. The biggest challenge for any Religion is to keep its founding stories consistent, and which can keep pace with the intellectual development of the people. The only solution practiced by the Religions has been to formulate dogmas and impose dogmatic rules. 5
The biggest challenge for any Religion is to keep its founding stories consistent, and which can keep pace with the intellectual development of the people. The only solution practiced by the Religions has been to formulate dogmas and impose dogmatic rules. One of the biggest roadblocks to this respect has been for Christianity the SEXUAL and the pleasure linked to this. This process started already with the myth of Adam and Eve. How to reconcile the birth of a Human-God which logically should be conceived in a normal human sexual way? The Christian Church only managed to formulate one solution: Jesus mother has given birth as a virgin, and the sexual in the life of the humans is evil. The woman is the scapegoat for the sexual pleasure; because only God can pleasure the people, what is the start of the suppression of the women in Christianity and also with the 6
Muslims. Because Religion is a psychological process playing in the interface between the Unconscious and the Conscious, the Female Mental power compensates for the suppression by the application of a broad SYMBOLISM in the Conscious world.

The Scriptures on which the Religions rely on are texts on Tradition and Myths referring to other Traditions and Myths. They trade between generations and regions as an exchange for the needs of the time. All Religions are engaged in the explanation of the Scriptures which are the source of the conflicts. Because Religions have separated the Mind from the Body, it makes it easy to exterminate the infidels and opponents. 9

One of our most fundamental Laws of Physics is the Law of the Increasing Entropy. Entropy is to be understood as a measure of organization of a system. A system with a high Entropy is in a chaotic state. Low Entropy means well organized. The Law says that any system evolves to a higher entropy; meaning becoming more chaotic and organized. *The evolution of mankind, his tools and the society points into the direction of a better organized and controlled system, meaning a lower entropy. This conflicts with the general Law of increasing entropy. The only solution to this inconsistency is that the Evolution has created itself a system which will facilitate the quickest path to chaos or destruction of mankind. The way we destroy our environment and the nuclear destruction capability might support the hypothesis. 11
The God created a Man and said: after all I could have done better. Upon which he creates the Woman. Francis Bacon.
In all cultures and religions, you find the arche egg as a symbol. Here starts the discussion of what was first, the chicken or the egg. The same dispute is still on between Adam and Eve: who was first? According Adam has Eve been formed out of one of his ribs to become a (entertaining) partner
12
Eve claims that initially, she was a Man and someone else(Adam as the devil ) out of envy cut off brutally her penis. The consequence is that from that time she monthly will bleed from that wound. The culprit Adam will as a compensation have to anoint the wound constantly with the balm of his own fantasized rib. We will be reminded of this story by the symbols of the phallus as a snake and the obelisk, and a fish for the female yoni.
nd 13
The ever biggest blessing that God gave to Adam was his Manhood. Eve received Longing. Probably was this intended the longing for the masculinity of Adam. But Eve’s longing took the direction of Curiosity which was the cause that Adam’s libido faltered. The snake no longer served as a phallus symbol for Eve. The snake came up with a message that Eve could not deny. There came no end to the curiosity of Eve.
14
Eve has her doubts, she analyses and she put questions like ‘ Did God actually said this? ‘ Eve also does some experiments by biting the socalled forbidden apple. Eve would accept the results of the experiences, even if that meant that she and her Adam were expelled from the Paradise. Doing so, Eve became the first Scientist. She is curious, she listens, she analyses, Eve makes experiments, and she accepts the outcome and takes further actions. These are the steps of any scientific achievement.
15
Once outside the Paradise will Adam lose his selfconfidence and esteem. He is no longer sure about himself. He does not want to reveal to Eve that he no longer can control his penis which erects unintended and out of Adam’s will. From that moment Adam instructs that men and women should cover their intimacies. This turns out to become a blessing for Eve. Besides the title of a Scientist, Eve now becomes a Fashion Designer as well.
16
This is a big reward, a ticket for an everlasting fashion show. See here her first design.
Eve explains to Adam that is a fig leave, what he believes it is. In fact, it is a leave with five fingers symbolizing a hand which covers Eve’s intimacy and which should satisfy her. Moreover, a fig is a fruit full of seeds which are another symbol.
17
How can Adam go on when he sees that Eve is so occupied with Fashion and Sciences? Now has the moment come for Adam to show off his manhood. He blamed being expelled from the Paradise entirely on Eve. For this purpose, he invents a new concept of the Original Sin. Adam replaces Science with RELIGION. At the beginning, there were many gods which pleased Eve because like in fashion, at any occasion you can appeal to one of the many gods. 18
The reaction on this was that Adam declares that there is only ONE and exclusive God. In fact, Adam’s thought was that He would be that God. Adam’s ambition had been from the beginning to be God, which was the real reason for the expelling from the Paradise. Adam had always been hiding his enthusiasm for Eve; you know, men do not show quickly emotions. With the title of Almighty and All-Present God, now Adam can subject Eve and all women to his will and show that He reigns the world. With this behavior, it becomes even more difficult for Eve to long for Adam’s manhood. What Eve envies is the Longing of Adam. Not Adam himself but that which Adam wants for, even when this is a secret Longing. Eve is jealous. 19
The birth of a new life incurs the loss of the virginity of the woman. Also, sexual pleasure can be related to this happening, what is problematic for early Christianity. The fact that Marie gave birth to a God-Man and Marie being subjected to the same human realities of sexuality can only be overcome by imposing a Dogma. This put Adam in a problematic position. He would keep his body in a ‘perfect’ shape. Only God is perfect. So the Church invented the ritual of the circumcision. Adam lost a bit of skin from his penis.
20
Even today new smartie-men are born who know it all like the clever way of buying off the penalty of the original sin. You get the promise of eternal life (after being dead of course) under the condition that you subject yourself to the One God and follow all the Church instructions. All suffering in this life will be compensated in the afterlife. Promised. With such a dramatic story full of mystery and with a happy end, success is guaranteed. Christianity became a mass religious movement. So is the Muslim religion.
21
Another trick with guaranteed success is the creation of a scapegoat, a female goat of course, what becomes part of Christian and Muslim doctrines. Especial have women suffered in the role of scapegoat. To be honest, women have a problem to believe. Christian Belief is based on a principle that you accept and not question any points of the views of the hierarchy, what becomes a problem for all women. A woman wants many things and plenty of alternatives, and at the end, she cannot make up her mind. That’s why women do not believe, they can only be devout.
22
Devotion means adoration and dedication. A woman wants to be adored and admired. Despite the policies of the Church, they cannot do without the women. The worship of goddesses was widespread in ancient times, also by the men. There came up also the story of M. Magdalena who sympathized men to uphold their manhood (also in a literary way). The answer to this was that the Church promoted Jesus’ mother to a religious public queen figure representing purity and chastity. As an exchange for sexual pleasure, Marie was developed as the holy substitute for the virile needs of the masses.
23
24
Faith spreads all over the world. The people who resist to the conversion of the Christian belief is considered as a heretic and is subjected to the expulsion of social life and even physical punishment. Especial the way the Church and her priest has treated the women is a deplorable psychological and a sadistic way.
25
The invention of the original sin has made slaves of the people. Especial have the women, who from nature are not blessed with the power of the Logic, are the victims. Women have no other role in the Church than praying and singing. To compensate for the female hope for Unity and the inner Longing did the Church came up with the formula of join the Spirit and take the Body of the Christ. The pitfall came from the ritual of the confession. Here was the slogan: Give your spirit to the Lord and your body to the Priest.
26
This resulted in a sadistic game. The woman had to confess into detail her sins. The commandments 6 and 9 were the hot topics. To help the woman who came to fulfill her duty of confession did the priest followed a script with questions she had to answer. Of course, a sin is detected and as the penance the woman to reveal more details of the intimate with the husband. More, the priest ordered some sexual bed experiments which the woman had to perform and to report in the next confession session. When she refused, the next punishment was another mortal sin. In this way becomes the woman psychically and bodily possessed by the priest. Amen. 27
Some strong women did not fall into this pitfall and escaped the sadistic game or even openly rebelled this repulsive policy of the Church priests. These women were declared to be a witch and be hunted and burned at the woodpile. People who confessed a sin against the 9th commandment risked already to be marked as a witch. Phantasy sexual thoughts open the way to more heretic ideas. You only can phantasy to become one with God. The theory was that a witch is possessed with heretic thoughts and even some slept with the devil to perform evil acts. This opened for the Church a new field for performing sadistic torture. A woman suspected of becoming a witch is subjected to the test of the witch- prickers. 28
The belief was that any contact with the devil world would leave some mark. The detection was apparent. The spot where the candidate witch had touched the devil, was without feeling. So was the candidate witch pricked all over the body and because the sins were mostly linked to the 9th commandment, the pricking became a sadistic orgy. When the subject did not react anymore to a new prick, then the proof was given to be a witch. These sessions were organized by the priests and some local leaders who after dining presented the naked witches. This practice came to an end only at the end of the 18th century. Also till that period could a priest not commit any sin and made them immune from any prosecution and punishment.
29
There exist more evil spirit at those times such as the incubi who are a kind of spirit of the woods and fields. Like a vampire transmit the spirit via an exchange of blood so does the incubi by his semen. By having intercourse with a devil, you become incubi. The men who have the evil sperm are very sexually excited, and women have sex with these men are even more voluptuous and take the upper hand by sitting on top of the man. They are called succubiwomen. Incubi and succubi were considered possessed by the devil and hunted fiercely. They were the primary target for the Inquisition who killed hundred thousands of people. 30
Most victims were mentally weak people or suffered from epilepsy and were of short supply to satisfy the hunger from the Church for torture and humiliation. The next target was the intellectuals who made statements public which conflicted with the official dogmatic policies of the Church. But the women remain the easiest target. Luckily in the year 580, the Council of Macon declares that the woman, after all, possesses a soul as the man has. The women have to thank Marie for acting as the human mother who gave birth to Jesus. No creature without a soul can give birth to a human-God. 31
So ladies, the fact that you have a soul is thanks to your capabilities to give birth to new human life. The incubi remained in the collective mind of the people as the night riders who as a flying goat took virgin girls to new adventures. ‘Goat’ means in Arabic Satar which is the same as SATAN. That’s why the devil is pictured mostly as a goat. Goats also have a high sexual appetite which in the legends excited the women later becoming a witch. 32
The Religion has split the body from the mind. The Individual and the Collective Mind try to compensate for this in the Unconscious which find an explicit expression in Art, Rituals, and Culture. In this way has Christianity brought in Western Europe a rich heritage in Art, Architecture, and the religious Rituals.
33
The Bible stories have been created out of a blend of myths and tales borrowed from different cultures at different places and times. Christianity mostly was inspired by Mithraism. Mithra was an ancient Persian sun-god at a time when there was a well-balanced society also regarding the rights and roles of the genders. The Light of the sun is the source of energy and all Life. To create Life, there is LIBIDO needed. Libido is another word for Life-Principal or drive. But the power should be controlled. The symbol of Mithraism is the bull. Slaughtering the bull means that you take control. 34
In Mithraism you find the One Leading God, the people having an immortal soul, the principle or reincarnation and the duality of things like good and evil. An example of the balance of powers is the solar system of the sun and the planet, and the moving star configuration. The horoscope is from Mithraism. Mithraism was the religion of the slaves and the poor. That’s the reasons why it was wide spread in the Mediterranean. Also, the rich pagan ceremonial content made Mithraism attractive. The Greek and Roman cultures have absorbed most of the Mithraism. The bleeding Lamb is a Christian alternative for the slaughtered bull. The white of the lamb stands for purity and innocence. The ribbons on the miter of the bishop remind of the reins to control the beast. 35
36
The curled wand of a bishop represents a penis with scrotum. In the bishop's diocese, he will hold the curl away from him. When he visits another diocese, the curl will point towards himself, what is the primary behavior of animals in the way they mark their territory.
37
The fig and the palm fruit are potent symbols because they contain plenty of seeds and the shape they have. The fish, the crescent, and the circle are old female symbols.
38
The suppression of the libido in the policies of the Christian Church has been compensated by the Collective Unconscious in the architecture of the churches and cathedrals and the rituals performed at the religious occasions. The primary of the liturgy and rituals is a celebration of the wonder of the creation of new life. The sexual act of copulation belonging to the creation of new life has been obscured and restricted by the Church. The act of intercourse permitted by the Church is the so-called Missionary position. The woman lays on her back on the ground, spreads the legs while the husband kneels before her and then he can penetrate in a restrained and devoted way. In the rituals will the believer say his prayers on his/her knees. In inauguration rites of a priest the candidate also has to lay on the ground. 39
The altar is in the middle of the NAVE of the church or cathedral. Nave l of belly-bottom refers explicitely to the body’s part where the new life is created. The two side naves refer to the legs of the woman. Look at the architecture of the entrance of a church, and you see the yoni open waiting for the believers (the seeds of new or renewed life) to enter.
40
When you look at the details of what’s on the altar you can see that the dust is folded in the shape of the yoni. The chalice contains the wine as the feeding blood and the bread symbolizing the new life. The whole is a rectangular construction which represents the womb where it all happens. The pure water which symbolizes the semen is sprinkled on the churchgoers.
41
So you see Ladies, the Christian rituals are an ode to the Women and motherhood. The Unconscious compensates for the suppression of women by the Church. Another ritual is the Haji where the Muslims have to circle the Holy Stone in Mecca, which is the same symbolic cube with the same meaning as we have seen on the altar. The pilgrims are the sperms that want to enter to fecund the female egg.
42
The purple color of the habit of the cardinals has the meaning of the intercourse of the two symbolic colors in the Middle Ages, the red is male, and the blue is female. Look at the shape of the miter. In profile, this is an open fish mouth which is the female symbol.
43
In this way, the rituals compensate in a symbolic way for the respect and the suppression of the women in the Christian Church. Especial the attitude towards sexuality and its pleasures has been offset in Art and Architecture. On all place of cultural- historical places in Western Europe, you can find vivacious reproductions of sexual activities in normal life. The artists took the freedom to mock the policies of the Church.
44
On all cathedrals, you can find this erotic sculptures.

When the Church lost her monopoly of Knowledge to the upcoming Sciences, the immunity of her priest from sin could no longer be upheld. This happened at the end of the 17th century. Adam who had experienced Eva’ sense for Scientific approach took some precocious measure to restrict her power. Adam started whining, and he did this surprisingly in a scientific way. He talked about causality which means that any action is followed by a reaction. Biting the apple in Paradise was followed by the expelling from the Garden. He questioned. Eve why you listened to the snake who promised us the powers of God? Did Eve reply - my dear Adam, why you believe this story? Did it never come to your mind that I told lies about what the snake said to me? Did you ever hear about probability calculations? It might be that the snake considered the apple as a symbol of for example sexual 49
pleasure. Apples are sometimes used as a metaphor for breasts and buttocks. The snake could have used the word fig our mouse as well. Moreover, it is widely known that women are making use of indirect language to express their sexual desires. Adam vowed that he no longer would tumble in the same pitfall from Paradise and be speared on the Mortal Sin. He will proceed with the sword of Science. Despite all the right intentions, Adam’s mood is still depressed by his incapability of controlling his penis who latterly and physically could uproar any moment of the day and the night. Adam avoided the companion of Eve during the day. Eve had to put on for her day appearances a mascara. Women can show them in society only as the image of the perfectness of a man. Eve no longer can be complementary to Adam what would give her a bigger role in 50
society. From now on will Eve be an artificial person. Of course, Eve fails in this purpose. It sounds scientific when on a failure or a deviation, there follows a correction, what turns out for the women to be in most cases lower pay, fewer job chances, no say, fewer responsibilities, etc. You know, a perfect God deserves a perfect Wife. Eve will figure in a world with the idealist body measures and weight, with eternal youth, everlasting happiness, a model mother, housewife, sex partner etc. She shall confess her sins to the priest of the Media and the Marketing.
51
As a compensation can Eve perform in fairy fashion shows with lovely dresses, facial and body creams, magic food recipe that make you slim and all time happy and satisfied. The new religion for women is Eros.
52
53
The quest for Eros lights the passions and the apple from Paradise where everything is perfect, reappears. An apple from now onwards shall be juicy, from perfect shape and colors. In the Industrial time is the manufacturing of goods the key topic for the people. Now that everything should be perfect, priorities shift to Consumption of ever better and attractive things, what creates the new Paradise for women who like many things, different things, things that change all the time, just that what constitutes Fashion. In this new world of Consumerism can Adan demonstrate his superiority spread the cornucopia. The phallus symbol is displayed all over the world, and Adam shows that he can dominate Eva this time by making from the woman a commodity item which fits perfect in the Society of Consumption. Adam’s seventh day has arrived. 54
55
56
Does Adam succeed to control Eve? NO ! Can Adam satisfy the big Longing of Eve? Eve seems happy as long as she can consume fashion products. She adores Fashion more than she admires and worships Adam. Adam feels that again he fails. What is his reaction to this feeling? Adam will push the phallus icon to the limit with
the display of Pornography. 57
How does Eve react to this new move from Adam? So what my companion… these are only SIGNS ! …. as long as the Signs to not turn into a reality. You know, Signs are creatures that like to catch the attention to themselves instead of propagating the message which the Sign has to carry. That’s why women like fashion so much; for them is fashion one big sign game with the word -adore me. How does Adam react on the media becoming stuffed with Signs? Adam takes the Signs for true and erect, even more, phallus signs.
58
Adams manhood diminishes further. He is jealous of Eve. He copies the female signs. Adam’s manhood languishes even more.
59
The reply from Eve is again the same – my little boy, you have to accept that these are just Signs and then understand that the role of Sign is to create a MEANING. The apple was a sign with a purpose. In the German language, a purpose is -ein Ziel, which is also a Soul. So give the things around you a soul, and you will be a real Man.
60
Adam fights for his right to the Paradise Eve flights to what is her Paradise.

The snake whispers to Eve: do not bite this apple if wish to live forever. Eve quickly understands the real message from the snake. The apple was not a real fruit but a symbol for the pleasures that the body can provide. When Adam and Eve would restrain to have sex and enjoy the benefits of making love, then no babies would be born and the human race will extinct. In this scenario can the snake take control of the whole globe. Adam still pretends that he is smarter than Eve. 67
