Theoretically, man is said to be nothing but an animal with a highly developed cerebrum. At the same time, it is believed of this man that he is capable by science and technical devices of achieving whatever he wants. The deification which might have been thought to be finally overcome, returns as it were from behind, in the form of a deification of technical creativity to which not much less than omnipotence is ascribed. After mankind has done away with the pseudo-religion of race and blood, it is faced with the even greater danger of a technocratical pseudo-religion. There is no room for human personality, freedom and justice in either of these new religions of divine man. But the most dangerous of all must be the one which makes man at the same time nothing and God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols play,  And wild and sweet   The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8636]]></link><description><![CDATA[I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old, familiar carols play,  And wild and sweet   The words repeat    Of peace on earth, good-will to men!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The men of faith might claim for their positions ancient tradition, practical usefulness, and spiritual desirability, but one query could ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7695]]></link><description><![CDATA[The men of faith might claim for their positions ancient tradition, practical usefulness, and spiritual desirability, but one query could prick all such bubbles: Is it scientific? That question has searched religion for contraband goods, stripped it of old superstitions, forced it to change its categories of thought and methods of work, and in general has so cowed and scared religion that many modern-minded believers... instinctively throw up their hands at the mere whisper of it... When a prominent scientist comes out strongly for religion, all the churches thank Heaven and take courage, as though it were the highest possible compliment to God to have Eddington believe in Him. Science has become the arbiter of this generation's thought, until to call even a prophet and a seer 'scientific' is to cap the climax of praise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intentionally, we over-react to customers.
