And even the cynical, the unbelieving and half-believing reader who goes with Christian to the end of the road must be a little shaken, may tremble to see something like a gate and also some of the glory of the place, and, glimpsing something of the company within the golden gates, may wish himself among them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The devil personifies not the nature that is around us but the nature that is within us- the infinitely ferocious ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53654]]></link><description><![CDATA[The devil personifies not the nature that is around us but the nature that is within us- the infinitely ferocious and cunning prehuman creature that is still within us, sealed in the subconscious cellars of the psyche.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are never deceived, we deceive ourselves. [Ger., Man wird betrogen, man betrugt sich selbst.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11526]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are never deceived, we deceive ourselves. [Ger., Man wird betrogen, man betrugt sich selbst.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If Jesus had been killed twenty years ago, Catholic school children would be wearing little electric chairs around their necks ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54772]]></link><description><![CDATA[If Jesus had been killed twenty years ago, Catholic school children would be wearing little electric chairs around their necks instead of crosses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on topics of Christian apologetics:  The philosopher [Immanuel] Kant was right long ago to notice ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6248]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on topics of Christian apologetics:  The philosopher [Immanuel] Kant was right long ago to notice that moral activity implies a religious dimension. The atheist [Friedrich] Nietzsche also saw the point and argued forcefully that the person who gives up belief in God must be consistent and give up Christian morals as well, because the former is the foundation of the latter. He had nothing but contempt for fellow humanists who refused to see that Christian morality cannot survive the loss of its theological moorings, except as habit or as lifeless tradition. As Ayn Rand also sees so clearly, love of the neighbor cannot be rationally justified within the framework of secular humanism. Love for one's neighbor is an ethical implication of the Christian position. This suggests to me that the world's deepest problem is not economic or technological, but spiritual and moral. What is missing is the vision of reality that can sustain the neighbor-oriented life style that is so urgently needed in our world today.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is Truth which we must look for in Holy Writ, not cunning of words.
