Never mind if it all seems for the time very second-hand. The less you get out of it, the nearer it approaches to being something worth offering; and the humiliation of not being able to feel as devout as we want to be, is excellent for most of us. Use vocal prayer... very slowly, trying to realize the meaning with which it is charged and remember that... you are only a unit in the Chorus of the Church, so that the others will make good the shortcomings you cannot help.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64583]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1007]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes.

To deny God, man must ultimately deny that there is any law or reality. The full implications of this were seen in the [19th] century by two profound thinkers, one a Christian and the other a non-Christian.   [Friedrich W.] Nietzsche recognized fully that every atheist is an unwilling believer to the extent that he has any element of justice or order in his life, to the very extent that he is even alive and enjoys life. In his earlier writings, Nietzsche first attempted the creation of another set of standards and values, affirming life for a time, until he concluded that he could not affirm life itself nor give it any meaning, any value, apart from God. Thus Nietzsche's ultimate counsel was suicide; only then, [he asserted] can we truly deny God: and in his own life, this brilliant thinker -- one of the clearest in his description of modern Christianity and the contemporary issue -- did in effect commit a kind of psychic suicide.   The same concept was powerfully developed by [Fyodor M.] Dostoyevski, particularly in The Possessed, or, more literally, the Demon-Possessed. Kirilov, a thoroughly Nietzschean character, is very much concerned with denying God, asserting that he himself is God and that man does not need God. But at every point, Kirilov finds that no standard or structure in reality can be affirmed without ultimately asserting God, that no value can be asserted without being ultimately de rived from the Triune God. As a result, Kirilov committed suicide as the only apparently practical way of denying God and affirming himself -- for to be alive was to affirm this ontological deity in some fashion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7565</guid></item></channel></rss>
