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[I have a fear of being boring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4734]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have a fear of being boring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best love story is when you fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62963]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best love story is when you fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The product, abortion, is skillfully marketed and sold to the woman at the crisis time in her life.
