I didn't quite get the point in OP besides that "dogma is bad" for some obtuse reason followed by a lot of conjecture.
Well, I won't be adding anything significant to the discussion other than what I think dogma is: A system of beliefs or statements that by their nature cannot be questioned.
To me, the unquestionable bit, is what makes me against dogma - I think everything should be able to stand up to scrutiny, how else can you know if what you believe or statements you hold are true or not? Without scrutiny and critique your beliefs and statements are arbitrary at best.
