To deny God, man must ultimately deny that there is any law or reality. The full implications of this were seen in the [19th] century by two profound thinkers, one a Christian and the other a non-Christian.   [Friedrich W.] Nietzsche recognized fully that every atheist is an unwilling believer to the extent that he has any element of justice or order in his life, to the very extent that he is even alive and enjoys life. In his earlier writings, Nietzsche first attempted the creation of another set of standards and values, affirming life for a time, until he concluded that he could not affirm life itself nor give it any meaning, any value, apart from God. Thus Nietzsche's ultimate counsel was suicide; only then, [he asserted] can we truly deny God: and in his own life, this brilliant thinker -- one of the clearest in his description of modern Christianity and the contemporary issue -- did in effect commit a kind of psychic suicide.   The same concept was powerfully developed by [Fyodor M.] Dostoyevski, particularly in The Possessed, or, more literally, the Demon-Possessed. Kirilov, a thoroughly Nietzschean character, is very much concerned with denying God, asserting that he himself is God and that man does not need God. But at every point, Kirilov finds that no standard or structure in reality can be affirmed without ultimately asserting God, that no value can be asserted without being ultimately de rived from the Triune God. As a result, Kirilov committed suicide as the only apparently practical way of denying God and affirming himself -- for to be alive was to affirm this ontological deity in some fashion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you love someone, all your saved-up wishes start coming out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61776]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you love someone, all your saved-up wishes start coming out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The achievements which society rewards are won at the cost of diminution of personality ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/372]]></link><description><![CDATA[The achievements which society rewards are won at the cost of diminution of personality]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three fishers went sailing away to the west, Away to the west as the sun went down;  Each thought ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16079]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three fishers went sailing away to the west, Away to the west as the sun went down;  Each thought on the woman who loved him the best,   And the children stood watching them out of the town.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61519]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We absolutely could not stop those two girls. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29298]]></link><description><![CDATA[We absolutely could not stop those two girls.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forget those things that aren't worth remembering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22478]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forget those things that aren't worth remembering.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She is kept alive on the milk of asses which she takes with her wherever she goes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50482]]></link><description><![CDATA[She is kept alive on the milk of asses which she takes with her wherever she goes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54382]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is happening across the pages of almost every newspaper is a ruthless attempt to destroy the young challenger among ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36897]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is happening across the pages of almost every newspaper is a ruthless attempt to destroy the young challenger among the Tory modernizers' camp and to keep the Conservatives firmly on the right of British politics.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called "Huckleberry Finn." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25256]]></link><description><![CDATA[All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called "Huckleberry Finn."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When under the pretext of fraternity, the legal code imposes mutual sacrifices on the citizens, human nature is not thereby ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52220]]></link><description><![CDATA[When under the pretext of fraternity, the legal code imposes mutual sacrifices on the citizens, human nature is not thereby abrogated.
