The old testament is full of stories of how people lived in sin (id). The old testament shows the steps that were taken to inject moral living (ego) up to adapting a superego.

Really? I thought the old Doctor's structural theory went something like this:

The id contains "primitive desires" (hunger, rage, and sex), the super-ego contains internalized norms, morality and taboos, and the ego mediates between the two and may include or give rise to the sense of self.

Come on, nevada sue - Calpernia's holding up her end!

If I were you, I'd go after the apparent implicit acceptance of the Freudian personality structure in Cal's thesis.

As an opening foray, so to speak.

How odd of God
To make an id.
And if He made me
He certainly did.
