Well, it looks like your god doesn't feel much. I guess it is not so much interested in music.

Music is the language of the soul.

Don't be confused.

Of course there is music in heaven.

The angels sing the praises of God constantly.

And music is a language of the soul. Love is another.

I have to clean tea off my monitor now.

My point was that God was something you feel, kinda like lighting your lawn on fire. Gives you a warm feeling

And that is ALL you get from all that. It has been proven there is a god spot in the brain, you stimulate that area which they have, and you think you are in the presence of something unseen, religious folk thinks they are seeing god but in fact all they are 'seeing' is the outputs of a bunch of neurons in their brains. A built in hallucinatory area of the brain.

Here is a report on the 'security blanket of the brain':

Naturally, if the brain were not capable of sensing God then we never would.

Have you ever read stories of people who were blind since birth having near death experiences?

How can they know how to see after them? More importantly, how can they describe in detail their surroundings after a near death experience in only a way someone who could actually see? When they are revived they are back to being blind again.

So you figure we have a god sense that we can stimulate with magnetic fields any time we want? Maybe that is what churches have been doing all along, magnetic fields hidden inside the pews and you go to church, get that good old god experience.
