Music Begins and Ends with God-part 3
Post Postmodern 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 endeavor 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.
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 a humanist 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.
