Summarize Argument: Counter-Position

The music critic concludes that Vierne’s works are religious because they’re divinely inspired.

Identify and Describe Flaw

The music critic reasons that because Vierne’s songs are divinely inspired, they are religious. However, the critic’s reasoning is vulnerable for a couple of reasons. The critic doesn’t consider that a song being divinely inspired doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a religious song. Also, the critic doesn’t consider that Vierne’s songs may not be considered religious by some people because the songs aren’t set to familiar religious texts or subject matters like certain works of Handel are.
