First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66416]]></link><description><![CDATA[The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing that will kill a man so soon as having nobody to find fault with but himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15439]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing that will kill a man so soon as having nobody to find fault with but himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At that time we could not use the federal government's marijuana to show that it might be beneficial because NIDA ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33824]]></link><description><![CDATA[At that time we could not use the federal government's marijuana to show that it might be beneficial because NIDA has a mandate from Congress that they could only supply marijuana for research to show that it might be dangerous.
