if our judgments of the sacred and holy are, at root, felt experiences, then there is little we can point to in the world to build consensus. I simply feel offended. That’s the beginning and end of my warrant: my subjective experience. So if the felt experiences of the sacred, holy, and divine (and, by definition, the profane, vulgar, and perverse) differ within the church, then groups on different sides of these experiences will be at an impasse, literally dumbfounded by their inability to find common ground.
