Christianity has been trying to achieve a revolution by consciousness for two thousand years. Who would deny that Christian consciousness could have changed the world? Yet it was the world that changed Christian consciousness. If everybody adopted a peaceful, loving, generous, noncompetitive lifestyle, we could have something better than counter-culture -- we could have the Kingdom of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I sometimes feel that more lousy dishes are presented under the banner of pÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â¢tÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â© than any other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40155]]></link><description><![CDATA[I sometimes feel that more lousy dishes are presented under the banner of pÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â¢tÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â© than any other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Programming today is a race between software engineers stirring to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57104]]></link><description><![CDATA[Programming today is a race between software engineers stirring to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

For actual behaviour infallibly betrays the real object of the man's worship. All Christians, whatever their Church, would of course instantly repudiate the idea that their god was a super-example of their own denomination, and it is not suggested that the worship is conscious. Nevertheless, beneath the conscious critical level of the mind it is perfectly possible for the Anglo-Catholic, for example, to conceive God as particularly pleased with Anglo-Catholicism, doubtful about Evangelicalism, and frankly displeased by all forms of Nonconformity... The ultra-low Churchman on the other hand must admit, if he is honest, that the God whom he worships disapproves most strongly of vestments, incense, and candles on the altar. The tragedy of these examples -- which could be reproduced ad nauseam any day of the week -- is not difference of opinion, which will probably be with us till the Day of Judgment, but the outrageous folly and damnable sin of trying to regard God as the Party Leader of a particular point of view.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A root is a flower that disdains fame. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16266]]></link><description><![CDATA[A root is a flower that disdains fame.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People have discovered that they can fool the devil; but they can't fool the neighbours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44378]]></link><description><![CDATA[People have discovered that they can fool the devil; but they can't fool the neighbours.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44378</guid></item></channel></rss>
