What is wrong with those people who listen to music?

[sovietchild]

Let’s agree on something. Music makes one high. Right? It gives one an ecstasy feeling, relaxes one and makes one happy, but is everything that makes you happy good for you? Probably not.

Just like a drug, one can become addicted to music. If one were to listen to music every day, then what kind of a reaction would one receive? I mean look what music does to people. Look what music does to musicians themselves. It makes them crazy, just like a drug.

I suggest you (RF forum users) to abstain from music, for just a week or two. Since you are part of the religious community you might as well experiment it. There is an action and reaction. You might as well try it and see what kind of reaction one would receive if he were to abstain from music. I guarantee you, isolation from music will do you good. It will calm you down.

Not all religious people abstain from experiencing ecstasy. In fact, some of us celebrate it!

Why is relaxing and feeling happy a bad thing?

Wrong. It depends greatly on the music. Music evokes a wide range of emotions, which could be described as "highs" and "lows" and "neutrals."

Is this a money-back guarantee?

Does listening to Qur'an recitation give you a feeling of ecstasy, relax you and make you happy?

Well then you'd best abstain from Qur'an!!

Your premise of music making someone high is a false premise. I personally love music that makes me low. I need a sort of compensation of my natural high status.

My fav album at the moment is Nature Unveiled from Current 93.

Give it a spin and tell me: do you think that could make anyone high?

There is a biological reason beyond pleasure for listening to music. Music goes into the ears and creates sequences in the neurons that form geometric patterns in the hindparts of the brain, among other things. This stimulates nerves, much like touching skin or seeing patterns, so music provides an additional sensation beyond hearing. It is another way to sense things. You sense something else, and its like looking at clouds, handling smooth wood, touching fine cloth or tasting well made food. The food does more than nourish. Sound has more than noise.

What's wrong with those people who are masochists who like to get ceaselessly mocked for repeatedly posting nonsense? Is it sexual thrill, or just an emotional thrill?

Nonsense there is already an exact same thread on...

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

Nope. I have to go to Mass on Sundays and there's always music at Mass. Sunday Mass is an obligation for Catholics.

Anyway, this is just yet another stupid thread.

It makes a person want to go to Brazil to be trapped by a giant Jesus statue.

 

[Jumi]

I sometimes don't listen to music for months. I don't think there's much difference there.

Is it me or does that sound a bit....


Nevermind. I think it might just be me.

 

[Father Heathen]

Would you consider this harmful?

Also, scientific consensus confirms that music is beneficial, not harmful.

 

[Flankerl]

Absolutely ridiculous.

Shemot 15
Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and they spoke, saying, I will sing to the Lord, for very exalted is He; a horse and its rider He cast into the sea.
The Eternal's strength and His vengeance were my salvation; this is my God, and I will make Him a habitation, the God of my father, and I will ascribe to Him exaltation.

It's not music; it's a nashid

Its free. Just don't buy anything from me again if you don't like the product.

They can call it whatever they want, but it's still a combination of sound that produces form, harmony, rhythm, melody, etc.

Exactly. It's laughable.
