It's possible you are correct. But a few questions come to mind: 1. Are people, such as TP, who have become saved explicitly arguing that the only way that you can create inspirational music is through God? 2. Are there people who have had "epiphanies" about the inspirational possibilities of music who do NOT believe in a higher being? 3. Are there people who have NOT, like TP, had epiphanies but routinely produce uplifting music who themselves do not believe in a higher being? peace lks --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
