This terrible subject would require a book to itself. Here it will be enough to say that the Heavenly Society is also an earthly society. Our (merely natural) patriotism towards the latter can very easily borrow the transcendent claims of the former and use them to justify the most abominable actions. If ever the book which I am not going to write is written, it must be the full confession by Christendom of Christendom's specific contribution to the sum of human cruelty and treachery. Large areas of "the World" will not hear us till we have publicly disowned much of our past. Why should they? We have shouted the name of Christ and enacted the service of Moloch.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65775]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Easter spells out beauty, the rare beauty of new life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63201]]></link><description><![CDATA[Easter spells out beauty, the rare beauty of new life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How can I tell what I think till I see what I say? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24066]]></link><description><![CDATA[How can I tell what I think till I see what I say?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History is more or less bunk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19331]]></link><description><![CDATA[History is more or less bunk.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You become a champion by fighting one more round.
