We modern pagans have to choose between that divine order, and the grey, dead, irresponsible, chaotic universe of atheism. And the tragedy is that we may make that choice without knowing it -- not by clear conviction but by vague drifting, by losing interest in Him. A nominal deist will say: "Yes, of course there must be some sort of Force that created the galaxy. But it's childish to imagine that It has any personal relation to me!" In that belief atheism exists as an undiagnosed disease. The man who says, "One God," and does not care, is an atheist in his heart. The man who speaks of God and will not recognize him in the burning bush -- that man is an atheist, though he speak with the tongues of men or angels, and appear in his pew every Sunday, and make large contributions to the church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are not here to sell a parcel of boilers and vats, but the potentiality of growing rich beyond the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61401]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are not here to sell a parcel of boilers and vats, but the potentiality of growing rich beyond the dreams of avarice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Conversion of Paul  The church is unique in that it is so able to cut across ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7603]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Conversion of Paul  The church is unique in that it is so able to cut across age boundaries and social-status boundaries.

But once, in the heart of an angry crowd, their enthusiasm soured suddenly into a growling muttering. He applied it confidently to a man who, under the inspiration of His friendship, had broken with his sorry past and his old selfish, unclean ways, and was doing what he could to put things right. Now that, He said, is what I call a saved man. Very solemnly He tells us that on the Day of Judgement we shall not be asked the questions we are expecting, but others that will puzzle and startle us. Those folk on the left hand were, as far as we hear, respectable folk; their business books were straight, their home life was kindly, they themselves were clean-living men and women: nothing whatever is laid to their charge excepting this, that they lived in a world needing their help and were too absorbed in something -- what it was, we are not told; it may have been their souls -- to give what aid they could.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A child becomes an adult when he realizes that he has a right not only to be right but also ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/655]]></link><description><![CDATA[A child becomes an adult when he realizes that he has a right not only to be right but also to be wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a caldron, and at some point it's just going to boil over.
