Unfortunately for religious populations, groups deeply committed to the sacred and holy, all this means that large portions of the religious experience will be extraordinarily frustrating, communally speaking. Given that the experience of the divine is often regulated by disgust psychology, conversations about God, sin, and holiness are often being torpedoed at some deep level. A dumbfounding is occurring. These dynamics make conversations about God inherently difficult because our experience of the divine is being regulated by emotion rather than logic, affect rather than theology.
