.Consider the following about Catholics. They employ all 5 of their senses in worship.
1. Sight - not only seeing what's going on at Mass or reading the Bible, but using religious imagery for inspirational or meditative purposes.
2. Smell. Good ol' incense.![]()
3. Touch - feeling the Rosary beads while in prayer
4. Hearing - hearing the Mass and prayers and so on.
5. Taste. Communion every single Sunday and it's available every single day of the week.
I may be totally wrong, but it seems as though Fundamentalists tend to shrink away from these very physical components of worship and rely more on...well..I guess on emotions or faith or some other intangible thing. Oh, I know we/they have their/our communion too, and we/they hear sermons and read Bibles. But beyond that, it's all purely "spiritual."
Am I making sense? And if so, has anyone else noticed that?
I wonder why that is.
