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[These detentions and other abuses seriously undermine claims by the authorities to 'respect and protect human rights', a new provision ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41750]]></link><description><![CDATA[These detentions and other abuses seriously undermine claims by the authorities to 'respect and protect human rights', a new provision introduced into the Chinese Constitution in March 2004.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've been blessed with very, very good weather and the wholesale price has gone down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37942]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've been blessed with very, very good weather and the wholesale price has gone down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spanish citizens must be consulted before Congress takes irreversible steps. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29314]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spanish citizens must be consulted before Congress takes irreversible steps.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The media tends to report rumors, speculations, and projections as facts...
