@Piscivorus In logic, the rejection of a claim is the accepting (i.e. proposing) of claim's contradictory. The only way to not take a stance on something is to suspend judgement.

If you reject the claim "There is at least one God", you have to stand by the claim "There are no Gods". The only way to not take a stance if to suspend judgement which basically means "I don't know if there is at least one God". This is called agnosticism, though sometimes people call it soft atheism I think.

First of all: a superb performance!

Secondly, more curious: I might be wrong but it seems to me that the choir performed this work with a lot of power/forte instead of a more 'softer' approach due to the sad tenure of the work. So tell me: am I wrong in my interpretation or is there someone sharing my observation?

@dheeren62 Wow! Garbage??? How can u possibly have it in you to say something so harsh when a piece like this that represents an immense beauty in Humanity and our connection to the Greater Good......SMH. Grow up. But i agree this type of spiritual music is much more appealing than Gospel

[dheeren62]

This is church music. Much better than that garbage gospel I see on TV coming out of some of the big southern churches.

@italiansexgoddess I meant to say because the religions DON'T conform or fit the ideology!

@Piscivorus Tool. I am Catholic and I am offended that you would disrespect us! Unless you are Catholic, DON'T BE SAYING SHIT!!! If you don't believe in God then fine, that's your own right. But DON'T YOU DARE disrespect other religions just because they conform to YOUR ideology moron!!!!!!!!
