Well, after mature consideration, I must controvert this assertion. God
is sacred. But God does not exist, ie, is nothing. Therefore, nothing is
indeed sacred. QED.

Nothing does not exist. Therefore something exists?

Nonsense.
God is sacred.
God is Love.

From the mere fact that something, for example nothing, does not exist,
it does not follow that something else, for example something, does exist.
That is clear.

Nothing is clear. Or should that be, nothing is clear ?
I has been my experience that nothingness is rather tawny and swampish,
and dwells behind my sinuses on , for example, a late Sunday afternoon
after one too many scones during 'Songs of Praise' on BBC 2.

Poorly, after immature concatenation, ahem - i am apt to ask how something
which does not exist can *be* anything, and since it does not (exist) let us
more rightly call it 'nothing'; hence how can nothing, which does not exist,
*be* anything, i.e. 'sacred'? of course, i am of the opinion that it is
indeed sacred, after a fashion and so to speak, as it has been my experience,
and not of I, is that nothingness is rather bawdy and trampish - swells and
flows, for ex ample, dwells, in shorts, or long('johns') whereever it happens
to....happen. and fordeed - what better two do when bored??? besides eat. or
sleep??? well...

Mikhail, it isn't nice to forge messages in other people's names.

"These sociologists who talk so facilely about the sacred, are like a
man who keeps a toothless, old, circus lion around the house in order to
experience the thrills of the jungle." -Allan Bloom
One of my favorite quotes. It would seem to me that if one asks in all
seriousness if anything is sacred, as opposed to saying "x is sacred!",
they are itching to latch on to an old circus lion.

yes, I took a class with Allan Bloom, so don't ask.

Pastel plaid bow tie with a brown shirt and green pants?!? And IF I were to
consider this sacred I would be simultaneously drawn and repelled by it? I
would rather be simultaneously drawn and quartered than wear that.

to me--how do you mean it? God might be sacred, and he might not exist...and
not existing, he just isn't...so how can he or the nothingness that isn't his
be sacred? Or is it that nothing is sacred...as in, there is no thing that is
sacred?
