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[If Sudan supports us as people say, I do not see what's bad about that. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28742]]></link><description><![CDATA[If Sudan supports us as people say, I do not see what's bad about that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While I deduce, From the first note the hollow cuckoo sings,  The symphony of spring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10816]]></link><description><![CDATA[While I deduce, From the first note the hollow cuckoo sings,  The symphony of spring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To include freedom in the very definition of democracy is to define a process not by its actual characteristics as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47203]]></link><description><![CDATA[To include freedom in the very definition of democracy is to define a process not by its actual characteristics as a process but by its hoped for results.
