All
Musical Roads Do Not Lead to Heaven
Multitudes
of Christian musicians are now so squeezed into the world’s mold that they do
not seem to realize that the whole belief-system that music is amoral is the
result of autonomous music philosophy.
It is no wonder that you can trust a humanist to conclude that all music
endeavors begins and ends with man. The
philosophical bias of a humanist will always be that all meaning in life (if
there is meaning in life) will be the result of self-actualization and the act
of a person’s free will. More and more Christian
musicians are joining secular humanists in believing that the music part of
music is incapable of saying, meaning, or representing anything and therefore
is amoral.
This
musical mind believes wholeheartedly that in the beginning was “ameba” or worse
yet in the beginning was “nothing”. This
musician believes within himself that man came from nowhere and is ultimately
going nowhere. It is not hard for him to
believe that man exists in a purposeless universe and that he is “caught in the
wheel of time”. This musician also
believes that music came from nowhere and is ultimately going nowhere. To this humanistic musician the only thing
that really matters is “me”. This type
of thinker concludes that music is amoral since man is god and god is man
therefore god is in man because man created god. So, man is god of his music. Any music that he composes or performs is
god’s music i.e. all man’s music is created in god’s image since god is created
in man’s image. Any music that pleases
man will also please God and conversely no music that displeases man is
pleasing to God. So, if you can wade through
all the previous mumbo-jumbo, you will be able to understand why a synthesis
thinking religious humanist, who is autonomous, believes that all musical roads
lead to heaven – why there is no profundity in music – why all music is
appropriate for public worship and ultimately why music is all a matter of
taste.
