What are they?



Sacred, as in something worthy of worship.. for the religious or spiritual, I would say whatever Higher Power they may have as an influence on their lives. There are times that I feel a strong desire to worship at the feet of Himself, but not consistently. Most other things I think I can and will reconsider their value to me based upon a new insight or some other factor so I would not hold those things as sacred.

It really depends on what you mean by sacred. I guess before I can give you my list of what I hold sacred I would need to know your definition of sacred.  However, I am interested in what you hold sacred.

I see we can't even talk about sacred without being ridiculous. That is disappointing. If I'd been looking for stupidity, I would have put this in the P and ORS section.

I see the point is proven.

Thank you.


What point is proven?

Anyway, rats are also sacred in some parts of India.

As for what's sacred to me: the people I love.

So a child being abused is something worth joking about? Genocide? You may want to reconsider that statement.

These things are not funny, way too many things are not funny but being funny is usually good unless someone is being wholly insensitive which is another thing. Funny is good.

Indeed, we could find a sense of humor sacred.

sunshine, I don't think it's so important just what we hold sacred--but I do it's important THAT we hold some things sacred. It's about us, not the things per se.

If my God was a motherfucking dinosaur I would know I had the wrong guy, the wrong guy dude. The dinosaur god is not God, you know that, and I know that. For a dinosaur it is nice to see the heart thing going on but I aint buying it. You dinosaurs sunk with Atlantis and spent all your down time learning Photoshop. Nice job. Can you do the same image but with Anubis at the top? Have his long tongue hanging out around his sharp teeth? Can ya do that?

If you had any sense at all you would know that we dinosaurs are unable to swim. That is why the Lord gifted me with the ability to walk on water.

Your heresy will not go unpunished. Remain rest assured.
