Expressed more sharply, he has a strong sense of the Creator-creature distinction, never of merging or absorption. Or, to put it more sharply still, a Christian has a sense of his moral sin and not just of his metaphysical smallness in the face of the beyond. The dilemma for man is not who he is but what he has done. His predicament is not that he is small, but that he is sinful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is an attitude.

It is the language of the future for the programming techniques of the past: it creates a new generation of coding bums.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9523</guid></item></channel></rss>
