I just sort of elaborated on this in a previous post, but well, to be quite blunt with you all, I have found God in music, and there are a lot of composers, a lot of pieces (this is classical music, not praise band) that are really evident of godly influence. I have many problems with the Christian dogma, but I strongly believe that in composers like Bach, who wrote 52 cantatas (That's about 30 hours of music) that correspond to every Sunday of the Lutheran church year; Handel, who wrote The Messiah in 2 weeks while barely eating or sleeping; William Byrd, who wrote Latin religious pieces when works in that language were banned in England and were punishable by death...the list goes on, but I would consider those three instances the foundation of my Christianity.
