   What if nothing is sacred and there is no God?

   • For if nothing is sacred, then there is no God, no Allah, and hence no prophets of God. And of course no Son of God. If nothing is sacred and there is no God, then there is no revelation of God in any form, not in nature, not in a human person such as Jesus of Nazareth, and not in any scripture.

   Is there a derivatively sacred thing?

   • If there is nothing that is originally sacred, then there is nothing that is derivatively sacred either.

   Why is the Sacred a conservative idea?

   • The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas – Uncertainty, Progress, Change – into crimes.

   Why should literature be declared sacrosanct?

   • Literature is made at the frontier between the self and the world, and in the act of creation that frontier softens, becomes permeable, allows the world to flow into the artist and the artist to flow into the world. Nothing so inexact, so easily and frequently misconceived, deserves the protection of being declared sacrosanct.
