Do you feel that there is any sacred factor in life, Ebbie? I mean, any unseen inner quality in people's lives that is sacred?

If so, doing your craft well serves it by serving yourself, your craft, and others.

Why should it bother you that someone else refers to that factor as "God"? That's just their way of labelling it, and that springs out of a long cultural tradition that considerably predates Christianity itself, not to mention the Jewish and Muslim faiths. It's not an indication of insanity or mental problems, it's simply a certain cultural way of expressing the idea of perfection. And we ALL strive for perfection in our own particular fashion, do we not?

To do that is to strive for what is sacred.
