Atheism is just reduced to self refuting statements about reality so they can have their own moral codes and get a 'free' ticket to do as they feel. Its just smoke and mirrors.

I don't doubt that he was. I think he was inspired by God in many compositions besides this one also, and I think that J.S. Bach was inspired by God as well.

@tallswede68 i have heard that handel locked himself away for seven days and nights and wrote the entire work in that timespan.

@jingling30 I'm an atheist and know many atheists. I'm sure that some are out there, but neither myself nor any of my atheist friends think that we have "free" ticket to do as we feel. My moral code, even though I am an atheist, is the same as all other decent people. Do good unto others, help those in need, try to make the world a better place.... I don't need a holy text to tell me that doing the right thing is right. It comes from being raised right and from having empathy.

@joshgura God is not a man that he can lie. What he says becomes so, thus lying is not possible. The question was an oportunity for Cain to surrender what he had done, instead he had surrendered to sin. He had killed Able because Able gave more gladly than Cain, God knew Ables gift was of the firstfruit and the best he could give, he gave it gladly because he loved God. .O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

[joshgura]

@jingling30 there was this one time God had no idea where abel sneaked off to, so he asked cain, and cain said "how should i know? am I my brothers keeper?" God was just lying, he knew where Abel was of course. We are made in God's image believe it or not, and thats why athiests lie.

Beautiful singing by the choir but almost unlistenable because of the delay (some comments say it's echo) in the choir reaching the recording microphones behind the orchestra. Interesting slow pace at the beginning if correct that performers adjusted the temp to suit the venue. A pity the video excludes the 'Amen' that follows straight after - I hear it as one continuous piece.

Handel portrayed the highest manifestation of inspiration, i wish the catholic church would consider canonising such great musicians of classic time, for their contribution in music is irrefutable

God loved us so much that he sent his only son for an ultimate sacrifice to wash us of our sins, sins past present and future. All he asks in return is that we believe on him Jesus christ. Then will your eyes be opened. God does not want it to be a 'religion', religion is for people who want to be or feel holy some other way by doing good works or by trying to follow the law, but when you go by the law you must forfill the whole law which is impossiblle. Jesus has done away with the law.

@Jumpsuit93 the above mentioned three Abrahamic religions are immoral disgusting violent and promote no values whatsoever. Other than that I agree with you.
