The Internet
as Non-Sacred Secular space
As prison is a Sacred Secular
space, so is the Internet a
Non-Sacred Secular space.
Since the fall of atheistic communist Russia
and Maoist China,
a Non-Sacred
Secularist
has not had a purely secular space
to meet where he/she would be unfettered by
moral restrictions of the Religionists or even
what some Secularists would call the
bourgeois morality of Secular Humanists. (The speck
of Cuban communism appears irrelevant
to the issue.)
As stated before, “America” is
a Secular space nurtured by a Sacred Secular vision of "separation
of Church and State." Until recently, in this "America," the
Non-Sacred Secularist—with a pure vision
of no religion (which
includes not even necessarily championing atheism)—was always
fighting for space in the public arena.
Inside "America"
there
was
no purely
secular space. “America” was only secular in a peculiarly
sacred way, so it was imperfectly secular.
Matters have changed, dramatically.
Now, there is
not only such a Non-Sacred Secular place but it
is a place of stature
potentially greater than that of “America.” The
Internet is a Non-Sacred Secular vision which has the potential to
vanquish all other Big Stories, including the Sacred Secular Big
Story of “America.”
The Internet
stands to accomplish what the
French Revolution
failed to achieve
in the political space, by
establishing a
special Secular space called
“hyperspace” or “cyberspace” which
will/can be
inhabited
not by a nation
but by
everyone world-wide.
