And when they are wicked, the Humanitarian theory of punishment will put in their hands a finer instrument of tyranny than wickedness ever had before. For if crime and disease are to be regarded as the same thing, it follows that any state of mind which our masters choose to call 'disease' can be treated as crime, and compulsorily cured. It will be vain to plead that states of mind which displease the government need not always involve moral turpitude and do not therefore always deserve forfeiture of liberty. For our masters will not be using the concepts of Desert and Punishment but those of disease and cure. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Modern attempts to get away from the sheer historical facts of the Resurrection are, at best, based on a total ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6784]]></link><description><![CDATA[Modern attempts to get away from the sheer historical facts of the Resurrection are, at best, based on a total misunderstanding. The whole Bible proclaims the need for, and the achievement of, a salvation that will remake creation, and it is just such a salvation, at once supernatural and historical, that was won on Easter Day. If the Resurrection narratives are [merely] a subtle way of convincing us that God still loves us, or that there is a life beyond death, they must be reckoned among the oddest and most ill-conceived stories ever written.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19078]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything you are against weakens you.
