Is Profane Relative?

Profane versus Sacred

Is profane a relative concept? One could say that it is. There are many different concepts of god. A Christian would say that God is three persons, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. That concept is sacred for a Christian. For others, it would be profane to include God the Son, Jesus, as God. However, some believe in multiple gods. While this would be sacred for them, it would be profane to a Christian.

Consider the view of salvation through faith as stated by Paul and others. This is sacred for those who believe accordingly. For those who believe in salvation through works, this would be profane. In the movie Groundhog Day it appears that sacred came through goods work rather than by faith. Phil escaped the time trap only after he had done good works.

So, does profane and sacred depend on one’s belief? What do you think?
