What Is NOT Sacred?

[Sunstone]

So what sort of things are NOT sacred? Why not?

 

[FatMan]

I've learned recently that clouds and beans are sacred, but a golden retriever's butt - not so much.

I believe it is everything under the sun. It is hard for me to understand why an entity would designate a material object or a personal concept holy or divine.

 

[Papersock]

Nothing is sacred.

 

[Popeyesays]

I would say God is sacred. Everything else is negotiable from moment to moment.

[Willamena]

Sacred is as sacred does.

I find it harder to understand why i divine being would create something it despised, which leads me to the same conclusion as you however.

 

[Halcyon]

Sacred is as sacred does.

Lol, the Tao of Gump?

 

[Guitar's Cry]

I believe it is everything under the sun.

What about the sun itself, or beyond it?

 

[MaddLlama]

Nothing, and everything. Because, we determine in our own minds what is sacred. Nothing is inherently sacred unless we attach that meaning to it.

 

[Gentoo]

As you can see... it depends on who you ask.

 

[Papersock]

Perhaps life is sacred.
All life, not just humans.

 

[Guitar's Cry]

Nothing, and everything. Because, we determine in our own minds what is sacred. Nothing is inherently sacred unless we attach that meaning to it.

Aye! I agree with that.

 

[MaddLlama]

Aye! I agree with that.

Ever heard George Carlin's routine on "the sanctity of life"? It's pretty funny.

We may never get close enough to determine if it is sacred or not.

I love that one. Ever heard his bit about why he's decided to become a "sun worshipper"? It's hilarious, and George answers GC's post about why the Sun might be sacred.

Aren't they on the same CD? I can't remember...

I don't know. I hear it on XM radio sometimes when I'm driving across South Texas. I have a link to the text, but it's not for the faint of heart. One of the appropriate bits:

Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong.

 

[Mr. Hair]

Nothing is sacred.

Indeed.

Because of this, everything is sacred, at the same time. The Netjer are profane, and the earth is sacred; and yet this is not entirely so. Neither can be devised completely from the other, or from my-self.

At least, so I sometimes think... *smiles*
