The first 2 minutes of this clip illustrates what a scriptural fundamentalist sounds like to anyone operating with a more nuanced appreciation for critical thought & analysis.
>“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” Aristotle
When we come across ideas that are challenging to our own beliefs and assumptions, we can either recoil and cover our eyes & ears, or we can contemplate the nature of the concept at hand, and decide after some engagement with it whether or not it is worth integrating into our personal cosmology.
The Muslim Cleric in the video rejects Music out of hand, because that is the interpretation of his scripture that he holds to fervently. He even appears incapable of entertaining the idea that Music is NOT a sin, or that Islamic musicians have been creating cultural masterpieces for centuries, and that that is admirable and good.
>(And when the anon calling you out and flinging unnecessary vitriol and condemnation your way has around 20+ posts, you can be sure they are striking out from insecurity rather than resolute faith in their own righteousness)
Every time you attack an idea as "Satanic Gibberish" without trying to help the poster to correct the error of their ways by providing real/tangible/qualitative reasons why the idea is fundamentally wrong, then you just debase yourself and you become a wretched angry sycophant like the Muslim cleric that rejects music.
Obviously you're addicted to the dopamine of posting so much, you're at 31 as of this post… You might still have more work to do on yourself, just saying.
