Anthony, are you saying that an "atheistic dasein" would/could then never
encounter (face to face) the god in music etc; or that such a being
would/could only encounter a godless world (in the positive sense and
independently of the so-called existence of such gods) of music and etc?

And, I'm still not happy with your qualifications of dasein (which
presumably has no qualities {because it can have nothing of this or anything
at all} but is the continuing groundless ground of all qualities). That is,
I want to suggest that dasein is not some deep(er) nature or essence of
human-being, but some non-thing to come (like the relation of death to life,
perhaps).

regards

mP
