Not to point out religions, but there are some “Christianity” based religions that believe that that kind of music is straight from the pit of hell. The vocal howling and provocative beats and such. They believe that it is “morally wrong” to listen to or take part in that musical style, regardless of lyrical content.

I, on the other hand, regard *some* of this music higher than I do that of the boring lifeless songs often heard in contemporary Christian music, where one claims to praise God at the top of their lungs, and yet maintains a perfect melody at a beautifully practiced pitch, with ever-so-sweet vocal tones. To me, that’s almost like lying. But that’s another subject.

In my post, I wasn’t trying to say that there are certain moral situations in life that aren’t black or white… but drawing out that there are situations that are not necessarily moral ones at all. I don’t believe that the choice of preferred musical style is (in all cases) a moral one. Others do. Situations such as that are what I was talking about.

I was not talking only about the issue of morality, nor do preferences never fall under the issues or category of morality. So I believe your first sentence to be incorrect (in a general way, but we’ll talk about that later, I’m sure. The problem is discerning which preferences in ones life are actually moral decisions, and which are actually just preferences. Say, for the man her prefers to admire younger women over women his own age. He may be very well unable to discern that his choice is more than merely preference.).

I also never said that “everything is not absolute”. I would never say that. I believe I implied that “not everything is absolute”.

For non-native English speakers, the difference in the two phrases might be confusing, but please seek out a clearer definition before quoting me incorrectly.
