Sorry to parachute in without reading the entire thread, but I've always been curious about what the Baha'i think of hard polytheists.

I don't know if Freud said anything about sexual aversions, since he was all about the sexy times between family. I'm thinking of Edvard Westermarck. Google up "The Westermarck Effect" if you like for suitable sources because I'll admit to not having any sources and running off my shoddy memory of psych classes.

"Insane" is a legal term while "psychosis" and "psychotic" are medical terms. One can be insane without being psychotic and most psychotics are not insane.
