Two days ago I traveled to Mount Vernon, Illinois to argue a case before the 5th District Illinois Court of Appeals. I’ve argued cases there before, and it’s always seemed like a special place to argue a case.
Why? Because the main courtroom has been around for quite awhile. Long enough that Abraham Lincoln argued a case there. Therefore, when I’m arguing a case in that courtroom, I’m standing where Abraham Lincoln once stood to argue his case.
It’s an ineffable feeling. Perhaps it’s akin to the feeling that I’m in a sacred place. And yes, skeptics have sacred places.
Awesome, dude! I know I have sacred places…I'll have to think about them because I normally don't think about them.
Related, but only because of its nature, the Lincoln Memorial is one of those for me.
The religious would be skeptical that sacred places exist for the secular, no? That means they have become skeptics as well and are then assured that all places considered sacred by the skeptical are therefore sacred to them. Sacreligious, I say.
