That statement is a product of circular logic, as it simply restates its assumed premise, that anything unfalsifiable is useless. You know that this is what you did, so don't even try to deny it; I've seen your posts here, and I know you're an edumacated feller. Begging the question is used as a way to bait others into arguing against fallacies, so why are you using this quote as your model for what you think we're saying?
The question begged here is "Is Bach's music useless?", and that's what should really be discussed. When applied to what you were getting at, that is, "The truth of god is unfalsifiable and therefore useless" we are again ignoring the real question: "Is god useless?"
Now we can talk.
