A “Protestant erotic” describes the desire to have religious truth without religious ritual, dogma, doxa (opinion), or ideology; metaphysics without tradition.
In the contemporary era, all religions have become “Protestant” in that they are capable of self- awareness as religions. Christian mysticism is comparable to Buddhist, Taoist, and Sufi mysticisms.
We are left with a choice between an anti- modern traditionalism and an after- modern non-essentialism. Once we’ve chosen, another Protestant erotic describes the inevitable desire for the one we can’t have — an awareness of belief’s remainder.
