"And that`s exactly the point that gets up our non-religious, non-spiritual noses, because, although we freely accept that it is sacred to them, to us it can not be."

In trying to understand that comment, I try and look at my own reactions to Christian 'sacred' space. Being no Christian whatsoever I can imagine how a Christian may feel about a certain place that i go to *be*. It COULD be sacred to them, as many Christians believe all 'nature' to be the work of God. But it would be 'sacred' to them for different reaons. I argue that 'my' sacred space is far more selfish, less pious, but at least honest. Sacred also means non-religous sanctity, and in that Moon Cat's remark about football grounds is spot on. Old Trafford may not be sacred to Arsenal supporters, but football is. Football may not be sacred to a golfer, but SPORT may be. And on, and on...
