We modern pagans have to choose between that divine order, and the grey, dead, irresponsible, chaotic universe of atheism. And the tragedy is that we may make that choice without knowing it -- not by clear conviction but by vague drifting, by losing interest in Him. A nominal deist will say: "Yes, of course there must be some sort of Force that created the galaxy. But it's childish to imagine that It has any personal relation to me!" In that belief atheism exists as an undiagnosed disease. The man who says, "One God," and does not care, is an atheist in his heart. The man who speaks of God and will not recognize him in the burning bush -- that man is an atheist, though he speak with the tongues of men or angels, and appear in his pew every Sunday, and make large contributions to the church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To know what people really think, pay regard to what they do, rather than what they say. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3995]]></link><description><![CDATA[To know what people really think, pay regard to what they do, rather than what they say.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerest form of flattery. -Dr Joyce Brothers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25215]]></link><description><![CDATA[Listening, not imitation, may be the sincerest form of flattery. -Dr Joyce Brothers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can it be That modesty may more betray our sense  Than woman's lightness?
