Wow! When I listen to some of Bach's sacred works, I instantly become a fervent believer. Thank God, after a while I revert to my rest position of "I used to be a steadfast agnostic but now I'm not sure anymore"... Should I happen to die listening to a chorus like that, it might serve as a shortcut to the hypothetical higher place, who knows?
