How 'bout this for a title: "How I and Siggy Freud Screwed-up Western Thinking For A Hundred And Fifty Years."

150 years, eh? Multiply that by 4 or 5, and you'll have the number of years in which Western thinking was screwed up by the various denominations of the Christian Church.
The Dark Ages would never have been allowed to happen at all by any sane people, yet those in power proudly promoted ignorance in their God's name. It saddens me greatly to ponder what we as a species have sacrificed during those dark times. But for the brutal enforcement of ignorance for those several centuries, instead of Christopher Columbus making a historic voyage in a craft named Santa Maria, his historic voyage could very well have been made in a craft with a different name...
...a name like, say, Apollo 11.
Actually, I'm a true-blue Atheist and the son of a psychologist and I would friggin' LOVE it if it were titled that.
How exactly did Freud screw up western thought? Some of his ideas may not have been entirely logical, but I'd say that, in the long run, it was a minor negative influence at worst. And really, not all of his ideas were illogical. =/
@Jay-Sus. Eh. Psychology's a science too. As fuzzy as it may be. But I would figure that most know what you meant. I think Darwin is usually referred to as a naturalist, but don't take a psychology major's word for it.
@ #862874. We still have the school of psychoanalysis. They may not roll with all of Freud's ideas, but the treatment method is still Freud's psychoanalysis. Personally, though, I'm not a fan of it.

God-How I Fucked Up Thinking From The Moment Man Could Think With No EDnd In Sight.
Too easy, really. Morgan Freeman can play god - he's done it twice already. Oh, the irony of a black man playing the big guy.....I had to love it.
In the catagory of "how the world is worse now then it was 150 years ago"
No it's not, the bad is just more published.
Just like when endtimers say things like " have you noticed how the turmoil in the middle-east has increased recently?"
Same shit. 150 years ago was not utopia for the western world and the 1950's are not a shining example of peace, fellowship and Christian love. Stop pretending there was ever a Christian society of love and co-operation. It never happened anywhere
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
