"The neuroses exhibit on the one hand striking and far-reaching points of 
agreement with ... art, religion and philosophy. But on the other hand they 
seem like distortions of them.  It might be maintained that a case of 
hsteria is a caricature of a work of art, that an obsessional neurosis is a 
caricature of religion and that a paranoic delusion is a caricature of a 
philosophical system"

"The Concepy of Repression"
Freud

Religion and Philosophy are very close cousins, wouldn't you say, Terrance?  
That would also make "obsessional nurosis" and "paranoic delusion" kissing 
cousins, right?
