We don't despise God's name; in fact, we call upon it constantly to justify ourselves... If we object to meat-eating, we declare that God is vegetarian; if we abhor war, we proclaim a pacifist Deity. He who turned water into wine to gladden a wedding it now accused by many of favouring that abominable fluid grape juice. There can hardly be a more evil way of taking God's name in vain than this way of presuming to speak in it. For here is spiritual pride, the ultimate sin, in action -- the sin of believing in one's own righteousness. The true prophet says humbly, "To me, a sinful man, God spoke." But the scribes and Pharisees declare, "When we speak, God agrees." They feel no need of a special revelation, for they are always, in their own view, infallible. It is this self-righteousness of the pious that most breeds atheism, by inspiring all decent, ordinary men with loathing of the enormous lie.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[May the dreams of your past be the reality of your future ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17071]]></link><description><![CDATA[May the dreams of your past be the reality of your future]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult / Of our life's wild, restless sea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31243]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult / Of our life's wild, restless sea.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these... it might have been. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53231]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these... it might have been.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Hawk, the Kite, and the PigeonsThe pigeons, terrified by the appearance of a Kite, called upon the Hawk to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1601]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Hawk, the Kite, and the PigeonsThe pigeons, terrified by the appearance of a Kite, called upon the Hawk to defend them.
