Sugarfoot, if you cannot distinguish between poetic language and superstition, you best keep that to yourself (in particular at a forum about music).

Let me just sketch an important difference between physics and, say, engineering. Engineer are proud of their discoveries. So are physicists, but on top of that they occasionally feel "Wow, this solution is more stunning than I could have imagined!" Think of relativity theory, or Newton's laws, or Maxwell's equations.

Bonzo, to each his own. Note that Bach is not considered a god himself, but something like a prophet, his music being the revelation. Other music can have the same effect, which must well be distinguished from idolizing its composers or performers.

A pop musician (I forgot who it was) said in an interview something like: "I'm a hard-boiled atheist, but when I listen to Bach's music, I'm no longer that sure."
