Peter Gomes, a Professor at Harvard? I think a dictionary may hep, explanations of all those emotions are in there. If you need explanations of the origins of those emotions - see: evolutionary biology/ psychology, philosophy of consciousness and more. Science is beautiful. Science gives us answers that can be questioned and reviewed, instead of one answer in one book that's protected by ancient taboos(in the case of christianity). I say we break the spell that religion needs in order to go on unquestioned. If they are right, what harm could there be in scientifically investigating their claims. Myself and other rational people would be delighted to convert if we were given some evidence of the supernatural phenomena that fills religious belief. Science is limited only by the ignorance of those whom avoid it's questions and continue to preach a blind faith in proofs with no evidence.
