Dualistic thinking Options

Dualistic thinking is very relevant to people following spiritual paths of any kind, since it involves believers who claim to see and experience another existence and others who having not experienced anything they would describe as other-worldy, disregard these claims and it therefore divides people into two camps.

The language used is also a form of dualism as it separates entities into good and bad and places into discrete areas thus: Heaven and Hell.

Is dualistic thinking useful and a good way of hanging ideas on hooks for further exploration or does it lead to extremes of thought that lack balance and settle people into positions that are hard to find their way out of?

In life you make your own choices, you may chose whether you think murder is good or evil, it is all up to you. You cant just think nothing of it or you wouldnt be doing much thinking, feeling, or sensing in your life at all. "Breathing vs. Not breathing" if you didnt chose a side then were would you be?

Note: Just applying all of your rationals and showing you how easily you're self-contradicting.

You don't have to choose a side, because life isn't black and white. By not making a choice, not thinking about it as you say, just means you feel no attachment to the entire situation. And why would I, for excample, feel attachment to many situations when I am not even a part of it and it has no effect on me because I'm outside of the dogmatic thinking of most.

You don't have be anything, you just ARE. But we'd be digressing into Buddhism then.
