Note his reply to my analysis of his little piece of rhetoric at the bottom of the page.

An essay like this wouldn't fly with any teachers I've had at this university. I'm guessing he goes to a Christian one.

Wow these people can't even accept the fact that humans are animals. Strange, because scientists have been finding as of late that many intelligent animals can develop human like mental problems. Dogs can get separation trauma, baboons get ulcers from stress, parrots get jealous.
All very 'human' traits, that these nutballs would have us believe were ordained by some diety when in fact they are simply the byproduct of having terrestrial physiology and extremely complex brains, which get more complex in higher animals.

Also remember cruelty for the sake of being cruel also exhibits itself in animal society.

Examples: The dolphin-porpoise gang war that's going on, if a porpoise is all alone, those dolphins do some pretty vile things to it, and generally just push out the porpoises whenever possible, when they already have enough resources to peacefully coexist.

Orcas playing tennis with seals. Yes it's true, unfortunately, i don't mean the orcas and the seals have rackets...no, the orcas play tennis with the seals. they bat them up into the air with their tails and they crash into the waves, often taking several hits to die. Not only this, but the orcas play long after the seals are dead too, and often leave without eating the seal.

Baboons/chimps. Chimps, the animal closest us, we shouldnt be surprised are vicious little beggars, they have allocated hunting times and have the beginnings of a human-like culture based around this hunting. Baboons Mentally intimidate each other...

And we think we're so different...

Too, many animals are known to use tools, and dolphins and either chimps or orangatangs have sex for pleasure (ie regardless of mensus), including fellatio.

At least they provide an excuse to dislike Freud. Many people just throw Freud out of the window without even explaining why.

Oh, many have a simpler reason: his theories are not falsifiable... hmm, that applies to a whole chunk of psychology, actually, but then personally I throw much of that out of the window as well.

Although, in more recent times, psychology has started to shape up compared to what it used to be.
