God is all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, all-wise, but he NEEDS money - George Carlin
The evidence for God is only the shadow cast by those who must believe in magic and want to control others He sacrificed himself to himself to appease himself then burned nearly all of those he did it for. Imagine No Religion

Happy Birthday Widor
Charles-Marie Jean Albert Widor (February 21, 1844 – March 12, 1937) was a French organist, composer and teacher.
There are few French classical composers and fewer that I like, but Widor is a big exception. His Toccata from his 5th Organ Symphony is incredible. I have had the pleasure of hearing it in a big church with fantastic acoustics. Mind blowing. Watching this video strikes me that is sounds more complicated than it is. However, that doesn't take away even 1 second of pleasure. I never get tired of hearing it. Brilliant.
