For actual behaviour infallibly betrays the real object of the man's worship. All Christians, whatever their Church, would of course instantly repudiate the idea that their god was a super-example of their own denomination, and it is not suggested that the worship is conscious. Nevertheless, beneath the conscious critical level of the mind it is perfectly possible for the Anglo-Catholic, for example, to conceive God as particularly pleased with Anglo-Catholicism, doubtful about Evangelicalism, and frankly displeased by all forms of Nonconformity... The ultra-low Churchman on the other hand must admit, if he is honest, that the God whom he worships disapproves most strongly of vestments, incense, and candles on the altar. The tragedy of these examples -- which could be reproduced ad nauseam any day of the week -- is not difference of opinion, which will probably be with us till the Day of Judgment, but the outrageous folly and damnable sin of trying to regard God as the Party Leader of a particular point of view.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strengthen me by sympathizing with my strength not my weakness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58511]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strengthen me by sympathizing with my strength not my weakness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisedome hath one foot on Land, and another on Sea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50117]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisedome hath one foot on Land, and another on Sea.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's the three words you never want to hear while making love?

There is no substitute for an all-out, over-the-ramparts, howling charge against life. That's living. Living does not consist of sitting in a temple in the shadows and getting rheumatism from the cold stones. Living is hot, it's fast, it's often brutal! It has a terrific gamut of emotional reactions. If you are really willing to live, you first have to be willing to do anything that consists of living. Weird. But it's one of those awfully true things that you wonder why one has to say it.
