To be fair, the oedipus complex is extremely convenient if you are just trying to explain away almost anything.

As an atheist to some degree, I say that religion is only based insofar as it is ritualistic violence, and it is precisely thst it has abandoned the glory of the unrestrained excesses of these mystical experiences which has turned me off to it. This upsets the naively atheistic bourgeois intellectuals, who insist on their moral dogmatism and secularism. Something like Aztec human sacrifice bothers them, and they desperately try to explain it away by them just being uneducated savages who did it for [insert material reasons]. It's boring. As Nietszche asked over a century ago: suppose truth is a woman, what then? The ultimate black pill for these atheist intellectuals is that she will pick the Jihadist, the Crusader, and the Barbarian, every time. A society which does not tremble before God, is a society which is doomed to fail.
