This is becoming quite the pattern for you. You invariably spool up some "but how could you x without a god" question, and when presented with an answer, lose your shit. How hard would it be, honestly, to just say "oh, guess I never thought of it that way"...eh?
Yes you’re telling me a common fact of human experience, one that I share, but this is not what’s meant by the experience of the numinous. This isn’t what Otto, Lewis, or Hitchens are describing, they’re not talking about gratitude or contentment in their personal lives, which is the thing you’re describing amounts too. As someone who experienced both, I can tell you we’re not talking about the same experience
