The Pros of Dogmatism
In a secular culture there is no idea of essence and truth other than through mechanistic exploration, through science. Dogmatism is just the wrong methodology for getting anywhere worth going, because it is the antithesiso open conversation. The most benign seeming dogma can be made possible by the most psychotic moral attitude. You youl look at the mill s of americans who opposed embryonic stemsell research. Here we have petrie dishes filled with its imagined hundreds of human souls that are microscopic. To kill those souls would be tantamount to murder. And therefore, they didn't want to have a conversation about all of the he children and adults with with life deranging injuries and diseases.
