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[I stand on the sidewalk watching it because the responsibility is mine and I must, I take a very firm ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35933]]></link><description><![CDATA[I stand on the sidewalk watching it because the responsibility is mine and I must, I take a very firm hold on the handles of the baby carriage and I wheel it into the traffic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rock and roll stars have it much better than writers when they're on a tour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64560]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rock and roll stars have it much better than writers when they're on a tour.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am happy that these next two games we're going to give them a chance to get on the field ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30788]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am happy that these next two games we're going to give them a chance to get on the field and show us what they can do.

Then out comes a big Hawaiian man who was screwing his wife beside the pool because they thought it was real pretty.

For it is in love that we find the greatest of strengths and the deepest of sorrows. Love can seem to be so fleeting and unachievable yet it remains well within our reach if we only learn how to embrace it's power. To experience true love, we must be willing to open ourselves up and sacrifice part of our heart and part of our soul. We must be willing to give of ourselves freely, and we must be willing to suffer. It is only when we expose our inner selves to the white hot flame of rejection, that love can burn so brightly as to join to souls, melding the two into one, creating a bond that joins forever. It is from this bond that we draw strength eternal and power ever lasting. It is in this thing that we call love that we find the means to achieve greatness, both in ourselves and in our lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25636</guid></item></channel></rss>
