Religion seems to require the sacred. Sacred literally means set apart. If there is nothing separating the phenomenon and the mundane, then how can it be sacred?
In context, I was talking about the possibility some kinds of meaning (like the principle of non-contradiction) could be essential aspects of reality and the danger of sucummbing to the false binary that either everything is meaningfull or nothing at all has meaning, similar to the way eliminative materialists do not have room in their theory of mind for mind. As it relates to this conversation, I do think there is a danger in going too far in reading too much into a text and making up stories only tangetaly suggested by circumstances. Accepting the possibility of erring is part of the risk, not a reason to not try.
