The atheist [Friedrich] Nietzsche also saw the point and argued forcefully that the person who gives up belief in God must be consistent and give up Christian morals as well, because the former is the foundation of the latter. He had nothing but contempt for fellow humanists who refused to see that Christian morality cannot survive the loss of its theological moorings, except as habit or as lifeless tradition. As Ayn Rand also sees so clearly, love of the neighbor cannot be rationally justified within the framework of secular humanism. Love for one's neighbor is an ethical implication of the Christian position. This suggests to me that the world's deepest problem is not economic or technological, but spiritual and moral. What is missing is the vision of reality that can sustain the neighbor-oriented life style that is so urgently needed in our world today.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sycophantic behavior exists anywhere you go, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30038]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sycophantic behavior exists anywhere you go,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61576]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our system is not one of justice, but of law. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24275]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our system is not one of justice, but of law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Within the midnight of her hair, Half-hidden in its deepest deeps. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18580]]></link><description><![CDATA[Within the midnight of her hair, Half-hidden in its deepest deeps.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would like to be a positive force for young girls. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66294]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would like to be a positive force for young girls.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great man who thinks greatly of himself, is not diminishing that greatness in heaping fuel on his fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18250]]></link><description><![CDATA[The great man who thinks greatly of himself, is not diminishing that greatness in heaping fuel on his fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's no reason we're out on the street today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29618]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's no reason we're out on the street today.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12693]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing so stupid as the educated man if you get him off the thing he was educated in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13567]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing so stupid as the educated man if you get him off the thing he was educated in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man's capacity for justice makes democracy possible, but man's inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11895]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man's capacity for justice makes democracy possible, but man's inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was ridiculous that they even went to Wayne.
