At the risk of more flimsy, online rhetoric - I repeat that the word "sacred" has no meaning for me.

My dictionary tells me that it is from "sacren" meaning to make holy, consecrate, sanctify, make sacred. It has connotations of being above criticism or opposition as in the colloquial "sacred cow".

I regard nothing as being above criticism, sanctified or holy. If you do, that's fine. I do accept the word "spiritual" but see spiritual experiences as being separate and quite independent of sacred and religious experiences.
