On 'the numinous' in Mason & Dixon. 25--1000 words. by Sunday.

[Monte Davis]

"We became so enthralled with the power of our senses to observe, test, and
verify in the heady certainty of empiricism that our religious sense, that
of discerning the divine, atrophied."

Sorry to hear that Matt Emerson has lost his sensitivity to the numinous.
(But then, of course, he hasn't: as usual in this sort of thumbsucking
piece, it's not really "we" but all those *other* poor benighted souls.)
