I sometimes find it a shame...

[Sheldon]

...that people compose so much classical music about an imaginary God. Why not write music about the real world? It's beautiful enough.

There's music about nature I admit but I want more. I composed a choral song about a towering oak tree once and I think I also have one about winter and snow. I also have quite a few about birds.

I just sometimes find it a shame that there's no songs about what a gift the eye and optic nerve are or how spectacular it is that flight evolved in so many species - yet we have umpteen songs about God.

I feel the same way about churches and cathedrals, I mean I am always awe struck at the engineering, the energy, resources and ingenuity committed to and executed in building them, but imagine what those could be have been dedicated to.
