ANTI-GOD, ATHEISTIC FOUNDATIONS OF PSYCHOLOGY. Psychology is basically an anti-God religious movement. Dr. James Dobson referring to Dr. Garry Collins’s book The Rebuilding of Psychology said: “In it you talked about the FIVE PRESUPPOSITIONS OF PSYCHOLOGY, the foundational concepts on which the profession is based and they are ALL ATHEISTIC. They are all ANTI-CHRIST. Let me see if I can remember them… One was DETERMINISM, - that all behavior is caused, we have no free will, we don’t bring anything to the decision-making process, we are a product of experience – that is crazy. God wouldn’t hold us responsible for our behavior if it was deterministic. The second is EXPERIMENTALISM – if it can’t be produced in a laboratory, if you can’t prove it, it doesn’t exist. God can’t be proved, therefore He doesn’t exist. The third is REDUCTIONISM – you can reduce your behavior down to smaller and smaller units so you can study it… the fourth was NATURALISM – there is no God, natural forces control the universe… the fifth one was RELATIVISM – we don’t have any standards of right and wrong, it all depends upon the circumstances… ACCEPTING SOME OF THE HUMANISTIC NONSENSE THAT IS TAUGHT IN THE NAME OF PSYCHOLOGY OR COUNSELING, especially in the secular schools, and you come out and begin selling that garbage to the people who are in a state of need, you will DAMAGE GOD’S PEOPLE and you will damage His kingdom the rest of your life” (Ed Burkley pp. 213, 215).

PSYCHOLOGY IS ANTI-BIBLE. Here is an example of how the views of psychologists are antagonistic to the views of the Bible. Dr. Rollo May Ph.D, Columbia University, in his book Psychology and the Human dilemma, D Van Nostrand Comp. Princeton, 1967. in page 219 says that: “If we now look at the MYTH OF ADAM as the writers of Genesis presented it, we find its truth quite different. It is not by accident that this classic myth portraying the birth of human consciousness is a MYTH OF REVOLT AGAINST GOD. Under the “benevolent dictatorship” of God, Adam and Eve exist in the Garden of Eden in a state of naïve, pre-human happiness, a contentment without anxiety, shame or conflict, and also like the infant in the first months of life, without moral or individual consciousness. They question the authority… they experience moral consciousness.. the price they pay for their revolt against the authority of God is shame, guilt anxiety, conflict, and ejection from the blissful infant state of Eden… But what do they gain as they bid goodbye to Eden? THEY GAIN differentiation of themselves as persons, the beginnings of identity, the possibility of passion and human creativity. And in the place of the naïve, non-responsible dependencies of infancy, there is now the possibility of loving by choice, relating to one’s fellowmen because one wants to, and hence with responsibility. The MYTH OF ADAM IS, AS HEGEL PUT IT, A “FALL UPWARD”. IT IS INDEED, THE EMERGENCE OF HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS”. Behaviorism sees man as MACHINE. Humanistic psychology sees man as INTRINSICALLY GOOD. In psychoanalysis man is a VICTIM OF HIS UNCONSCIOUS. Whatever theories that flow from corrupt assumptions will also be faulty. Thus psychology is anti-God.

PSYCHOLOGY IS AN ANTI-CHRISTIAN RELIGION. The ROOT ASSUMPTIONS of psychology (Man must change and save himself –self-realization, self-actualization; man is innately good; Ideas of sin and repentance affect man’s self-esteem, sin is a psychological problem or disease for which not you but your environment is responsible) about man are OPPOSED TO the basic assumptions of the BIBLE about man. (We can understand us better when we see us from God’s view than from our own view). Thus PSYCHOLOGY AND CHRISTIANITY ARE IRRECONCILABLE RELIGIONS. Through psychology we feed our enemy called self. The logical end of the process is MAN MAKING HIMSELF GOD. Thus psychology is an anti-God religion.

ATHEISM AND EVOLUTION FORM THE BASIS FOR THE RELIGION OF PSYCHOLOGY. In fact evolution is only a philosophical and religious theory. Science says LIFE CAN COME ONLY FROM LIFE and not by evolution or accidents. No scientist has ever seen life coming from non-life. But the SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY IS NOT SCIENTIFIC and daring enough to face the consequence of believing that life can come only from life. In that case they will have to believe in GOD. So some scientists DENY THE LAWS OF SCIENCE LIKE THE LAW OF BIOGENESIS TO SUPPORT THE UNSCIENTIFIC PHILOSOPHY OF EVOLUTION. That is hypocrisy.

ATHEISM AND EVOLUTION LEAD TO EXISTENTIALISM AND SELF GOD THEORY OF PSYCHOLOGY. Evolution reduced man to the LEVEL OF ANIMAL. But man was looking for VALUE AS PERSON. Hence man built upon the foundation of the assumptions of evolution and reached EXISTENTIALISM. WHATEVER GAVE PERSONAL FULFILLMENT was considered to be GOOD. It was shift from OBJECTIVE philosophy of science to SUBJECTIVE philosophy of existentialism. There is delusion and intellectual dishonesty in evolutionism as well as the scientific claims of psychology. In the end times men shall become LOVERS OF SELF (2Tim 3:1-5). Self love will manifest itself as pride. God offers blessing for those who are poor in spirit (Mt 5:3). The major fallacy of it is that it gives to the INDIVIDUAL THE AUTONOMY AND SELF EXISTENT status which belongs only to God (Ex 3:14). Intense awareness of oneself – self-worth, self-importance, self-rights, fulfilling one’s infinite potential… All these give the individual a misplaced confidence, a CONFIDENCE IN HIMSELF.

IN EVOLUTION - MAN IS NOT ONLY GOD BUT ALSO ANIMAL. With the theory of evolution, God has no role. Amoebas are at the bottom and man was at the top. Man thus became the most important being in the universe. As Satan promised man became like God (Gen 3:5). But the problem was that according to their theory MAN WAS NOT ONLY GOD BUT ALSO ANIMAL. Because, in the theory of evolution though man was quantitatively distinguished from animals, qualitatively he was not distinguished from animals. Thus man was considered just a biological machine, just an animal. Thus he LOST HIS DIGNITY AND MEANING OF LIFE. And he CRIED OUT MADLY THAT HE WAS GOD. He had NO ONE TO DEPEND AND FELLOWSHIP WITH WHO WAS GREATER than him. That was a disadvantage. Now as there was no God, man felt free and was not to be accountable to any higher authority. Man was NO MORE MORALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS ACTIONS. As man is just a machine, an animal, he cannot be blamed for his actions. Thus psychology is not a science.

MAJOR PSYCHOLOGISTS WERE ATHEISTS. Psychology is anti-God movement also because many foundational psychologists were atheists. Wilhelm Wundt, William James, John B. Watson, Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Eric Fromm, etc all have rejected God, soul and spirit. This is representative of the general attitude of psychologists to God. Hence there is the SEED OF REBELLION AGAINST GOD IN IT. It could be darkness masquerading as light.
