Existentialism as a humanistic psychology seems an appropriate choice for addressing such phenomenon as it embraces the notion that there are limits to the purely scientific understanding of human behavior (Harcum, 1996). As large a voice as that of Abraham Maslow, the founder of modern humanistic psychology, believed that much of the enmity that psychologists express toward religion is due to the fact that they are essentially competing voices, rival recruiting agencies seeking to do good to the same population. In the Journal of Humanistic Psychology (1992), Stephen Kierulff predicts that the end of the century will produce an upsurge in apocalpytic expectations by premillennialists, or Armageddonists -- those who believe that Jesus is coming before the millennium and that conditions on Earth will get worse before he comes. |
