[Serious] Literal and Not Literal

[Belacqua]

What do you propose the word holy means, if not divine?

If I type "define holy" into Google, I get this:

holy
/ˈhəʊli/

1. 1. 
   dedicated or consecrated to God or a religious purpose; sacred.
   "the Holy Bible"
   synonyms:
   sacred, consecrated, hallowed, sanctified, venerated, revered, reverenced, divine, religious, blessed, blest, dedicated
   "it is forbidden to say the name of this holy place aloud"
   

That seems fine to me. For clarity's sake, I'd add "dedicated or consecrated to God BY PEOPLE." This is something people decide, whether there really is a God or not. 

You're known on AF for waxing poetic; making excessively wordy posts without really saying much (all the while making particularly apologetic posts concerning Christianity, one wonders if you actually are a Christian), but I'm asking a very simple question here and looking for a very simple answer.

Well, I like poetry a lot. This is just the way I think and write. You judge it "excessive" but it seems normal to me. 

I don't see why everyone should think and write the same way. Variety is good. 

Who says the Bible "provoke[s] 2000 years of serious commentary?"

I'd be interested to see your argument for how the Bible hasn't provoked 2000 years of commentary.
