no holy grounds, only deadly grounds

"And he said, Draw not near here: put off your shoes from your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground." (Exodus 3.5)
I believe there is no such "holy ground" in our world today, our world of terra supercognito...of geo-maping and spy satellites...of demi-literate tourist hordes flying casually hither and thither seeing all things packaged and unpacked ("been there, done that"), of ancient cities built, destroyed and rebuilt, of no untread places on earth...
perhaps such places were only in our imaginations...but where does one fear to tread today -- I dont mean childish fools -- except for places like Chernobyl and Fukushima.
