We don't despise God's name; in fact, we call upon it constantly to justify ourselves... If we object to meat-eating, we declare that God is vegetarian; if we abhor war, we proclaim a pacifist Deity. He who turned water into wine to gladden a wedding it now accused by many of favouring that abominable fluid grape juice. There can hardly be a more evil way of taking God's name in vain than this way of presuming to speak in it. For here is spiritual pride, the ultimate sin, in action -- the sin of believing in one's own righteousness. The true prophet says humbly, "To me, a sinful man, God spoke." But the scribes and Pharisees declare, "When we speak, God agrees." They feel no need of a special revelation, for they are always, in their own view, infallible. It is this self-righteousness of the pious that most breeds atheism, by inspiring all decent, ordinary men with loathing of the enormous lie.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The strength of criticism lies in the weakness of the thing criticized. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10763]]></link><description><![CDATA[The strength of criticism lies in the weakness of the thing criticized.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make the most of the hemp seed and sow it everywhere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57884]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make the most of the hemp seed and sow it everywhere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should always pray with as much earnestness as those who expect everything from God; we should always act with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7691]]></link><description><![CDATA[We should always pray with as much earnestness as those who expect everything from God; we should always act with as much energy as those who expect everything from themselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Joy is but the sign that creative emotion is fulfilling its purpose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23406]]></link><description><![CDATA[Joy is but the sign that creative emotion is fulfilling its purpose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23406</guid></item></channel></rss>
