Their leaders knew very well, however, that secularism, like any other parasite, derives its sustenance from the object on which it feeds, and so they were rather pleased when milquetoast Christians timidly offered, as a definition of secularism, "living as though God did not exist." What Christians should have called it was, rather, "a contemptibly fraudulent way of living on the cheap, by reaping the maximum fruits of Christian effort, while contributing the minimum effort of your own." When secularists accused Christians of "living in the past," the Christians ought to have retaliated by pointing out that secularists were "living off the past." By the time they got around to doing so, however, the majority of secularists had become morally incapable of seeing the point.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only way to amuse some people is to slip and fall on an icy pavement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28116]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only way to amuse some people is to slip and fall on an icy pavement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never despair; but if you do, work on in despair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65589]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never despair; but if you do, work on in despair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One thing they never tell you about child raising is that for the rest of your life, at the drop ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5936]]></link><description><![CDATA[One thing they never tell you about child raising is that for the rest of your life, at the drop of a hat, you are expected to know your child's name and how old he or she is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5936</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you follow reason far enough it always leads to conclusions that are contrary to reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53136]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you follow reason far enough it always leads to conclusions that are contrary to reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know not what others may choose but, as for me, give me liberty or give me death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66341]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know not what others may choose but, as for me, give me liberty or give me death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our deeds disguise us.
