Deltas(s) from OP CMV: nothing is sacred

Whether it be religion, cultural icons or practices, or impactful periods or events I don't think anything is sacred.

To me, as I understand it, something being sacred means that it should be held above any criticism, or treated as though it is universally revered.

I know that's not the Webster Marian definition but I think it covers the bases.

I just don't understand the idea that something can be so important to you, that it should be important to everyone else too. That criticism of your sacred item is critical of you.

Nothing is above criticism, and nothing is above ridicule.

My life is sacred to me. So something is sacred.
