Art/Literary - Religion / A book about the Creation/evolution debate
English term or phrase: dominated by a touchy-feely mentality
First we must propose that personal knowledge of Truth is

Though not all would start with Christ before establishing the basis for Truth, in my experience this is a valid route, since it shows immediately that we are not dealing with something abstract but something experiential and tangible. This is important to people ***dominated by a touchy-feely mentality***.
