" So I want to start with a story from the Old Testament.
There’s a scene in the Old Testament when the ancient Hebrews are moving the Ark of the Covenant.
The Ark of the Covenant was a device that was manufactured in order to contain
The Word of God.
OR
"A Radio for Talking to God"

(if you're into that)
LIKE STAR WARS
And there was a rule among the ancient Hebrews which was :
“You are not to touch the Ark of the Covenant.
No matter what.”
“You are not to touch the Ark of the Covenant.
No matter what.”
LIKE STAR WARS
And there’s a story in the Old Testament where the bearers of the Ark of the Covenant (they used to carry it), the bearers of the Ark of the Covenant trip and a man reaches out to steady it and when he touches it,
** SMITE !! **
God strikes him DEAD.
And modern people look at a story like that and the first thing they think is :
“That seems a little bit harsh on the part of God, given that the man was attempting to do something that he believed was good.”
“That seems a little bit harsh on the part of God, given that the man was attempting to do something that he believed was good.”
Don't Judge GOD !!!!
But what the story was designed to indicate, in my opinion, is that
There are certain things that
you touch at your peril,
regardless of your intentions.
There are certain things that
you touch at your peril,
regardless of your intentions.
LIKE STAR WARS
And those things that you touch at your peril, regardless of your intentions, most cultures regard as sacred, as untouchable.
I want to make a case for you today that those things exist and also why they exist and why it’s necessary for you to know that they exist.
I would also say that if you’re educated educated in a university, especially with regards to The Humanities
(which are in some conceptual trouble at the moment),
what essentially happens to you is that you are introduced in a relatively secular way to the concept of the sacred.

You are here, in The University, to learn about
The Eternal Values of Humankind.

And I think that people who tell you that those values
Do Not Exist
or that
They’re Endlessly Debatable,
do you an unbelievable disservice. "
