This is actually Pretty religious. It's directly from Sunday School this last Sunday. In the book of Ezekiel, 44th chapter and 23rd verse, I discovered something that needs to be done so desperately for people today. Here's the verse:
And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
Not enough people appreciate that there even IS a difference between holy and profane, and that they're on opposite ends of a spectrum. In the middle, I think, is "regular" and then it goes to "casual" and then to "irreverent" and onward toward "profane. On the other side of "regular" it goes to "special" and then to "reverent" and then onward toward "holy."
Profane is a word that could be WAY overused, if people took the time to recognize that it's still relevant. It's not just in speech, as in "speak using profanities." It's also in dress, attitudes, jokes, actions, and events. I love the word profane, for how descriptive it is.
There's your vague religion for the day.
