Would William of Occam's blade have been sharp enough?

To find the dividing line between sacred and profane?
Tristen,
William also says that you mustn't invent entities to make a case. My point is to wonder if these two are indeed invented entities and if therefore the whole shebang is a non-starter.
Tiff,
Nanny Ogg has a finely honed sense, not only of what's real, but also of what's ridiculous.
Tiff,
As her daughters-in-law would attest. :-))
I wonder, though, what she would make of my basic point - that the difference between the sacred and the profane only exists in the minds of men with nothing better to do with their time.
Jenny,

D'y know, I really, really wanted him to have had a beard. But the only picture of him I could find showed him clean shaven.
Tristen,
Thankyou for your learned response - and you are, of course, absolutely right.
What I was trying to do here, singularly unsuccessfuly, was to point up a distiction which I doubt actually exists but which seems so important to the more fundamentalist religious mind.
Since I did post the question in the R&S section I hope both you and William will forgive me for using him as a device rather than as a strict rule.
It didn't work anyway. :-))
