   Feb 15, 2009 · Yesterday I quoted Christopher Hitchens as saying that nothing is sacred. I now ask what it means to say that nothing is sacred. I think it means something like the following. Nothing, nothing at all, is holy, venerable, worthy of worship; nothing is an appropriate object of reverence.

   Dec 6, 2017 · “The good is the only source of the sacred. There is nothing sacred except the good and what is relative to the good.” Simone Weil (pronounced “Vey”, because of her roots in France, despite what I understand to be the German origin of her family name) was one of the most brilliant, fascinating, and edifying figures of the 20th century.

   Aug 26, 2016 · The quote above, therefore, is another in that same vein. For me, it appeals to the reader to shrug off the effects of other people's thinking and to honour your own, to connect with the inherent goodness of the Individual Self and to ignore the masses and the institutions of government and church.

   3 days ago · Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.

   What if nothing is sacred?

   • If nothing is sacred, then man is the measure of all things; he is not measured by a standard external to him. Man is autonomous: he gives the law to himself. Human autonomy is absolute, the absolute. There is nothing beyond the human horizon except matter brute and blind. There is nothing that transcends the human scale.

   What is sacred in every human being?

   • At the bottom of the heart of every human being, from earliest infancy until the tomb, there is something that goes on indomitably expecting, in the teeth of all experience of crimes committed, suffered, and witnessed, that good and not evil will be done to him. It is this above all that is sacred in every human being.

   Is there a derivatively sacred thing?

   • If there is nothing that is originally sacred, then there is nothing that is derivatively sacred either. One obvious problem with Hitchens' position is that it is by no means obvious that there is nothing sacred. I should think that something is originally sacred if and only if God or a suitably similar transcendent Absolute exists.

   Are facts sacred?

   • No facts are to me sacred; none are profane; I simply experiment, an endless seeker with no Past at my back. Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing. Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not.

   Is there anything sacred Besides Gregorian chant?

   • There is nothing sacred except the good and what pertains to it. Gregorian chant, Romanesque architecture, the Iliad, the invention of geometry were not, for the people through whom they were brought into being and made available to us, occasions for the manifestation of personality.

   Can ideas be made sacred?

   • Ideas, texts, even people can be made sacred – the word is from the Latin sacrare, ‘to set apart as holy’ – but even though such entities, once their sacredness is established, seek to proclaim and to preserve their own absoluteness, their inviolability, the act of making sacred is in truth an event in history.
