But is it not true that in our hearts we are afraid that the full-orbed, unfiltered revelation of God will disturb some custom, some privilege, some status by which we benefit in society, occupation, or government? And knowing that we are profiting by the blood, sweat, and tears of the many, we feel wrath rising in us whenever it is proposed that religion touches the thing in question.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As an outside; don't worry about failure, because failure will take care of itself.
