When this particular neurosis becomes inconvenient to the government, what is to hinder the government from proceeding to 'cure' It? Such 'cure' will , of course, be compulsory; but under the humanitarian theory it will not be called by the shocking name of Persecution. No one will blame us for being Christians, no one will hate us, no one revile us. The new Nero will approach us with the silky manners of a doctor, and though all will be in fact {compulsory}, all will go on within the unemotional therapeutic sphere where words like 'right' and 'wrong' , or 'freedom' and 'slavery' are never heard. And thus when the command is given, every prominent Christian in the land may vanish overnight into Institutions for the Treatment of the Ideologically Unsound, and it will rest with the expert gaolers to when (if ever) they are to emerge. But it will not be persecution. Even if the treatment is painful, even if it is life-long, even if if it is fatal, that will be only a regrettable accident, the intention was purely therapeutic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66016]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66016</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our mission ... is to help people better understand and value their freedoms so they can protect and defend them. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32809]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our mission ... is to help people better understand and value their freedoms so they can protect and defend them.
