Worship and Emotion

Could I blame someone for having pleasant times with a heavenly or earthly being Wink

Fascinating -- I've never achieved a "total submission" state so can't speak from experience.  I do wonder what's causing that pleasant sensation, and if it can be caused by something other than submission (for example, by music or an awe-inspiring natural phenomenon).

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Of course, as you say, there are many other ways to have a pleasant sensation, pleasant moment... etc.
So, each person usually chooses the ways that suit better his personal life.
Answering: What is my point?
