To deny God, man must ultimately deny that there is any law or reality. The full implications of this were seen in the [19th] century by two profound thinkers, one a Christian and the other a non-Christian.   [Friedrich W.] Nietzsche recognized fully that every atheist is an unwilling believer to the extent that he has any element of justice or order in his life, to the very extent that he is even alive and enjoys life. In his earlier writings, Nietzsche first attempted the creation of another set of standards and values, affirming life for a time, until he concluded that he could not affirm life itself nor give it any meaning, any value, apart from God. Thus Nietzsche's ultimate counsel was suicide; only then, [he asserted] can we truly deny God: and in his own life, this brilliant thinker -- one of the clearest in his description of modern Christianity and the contemporary issue -- did in effect commit a kind of psychic suicide.   The same concept was powerfully developed by [Fyodor M.] Dostoyevski, particularly in The Possessed, or, more literally, the Demon-Possessed. Kirilov, a thoroughly Nietzschean character, is very much concerned with denying God, asserting that he himself is God and that man does not need God. But at every point, Kirilov finds that no standard or structure in reality can be affirmed without ultimately asserting God, that no value can be asserted without being ultimately de rived from the Triune God. As a result, Kirilov committed suicide as the only apparently practical way of denying God and affirming himself -- for to be alive was to affirm this ontological deity in some fashion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the last five years we have seen a sea change in IT and telecoms infrastructure, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31479]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the last five years we have seen a sea change in IT and telecoms infrastructure,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not to go back is somewhat to advance, and men must walk, at least, before they dance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48378]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not to go back is somewhat to advance, and men must walk, at least, before they dance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No blast of air or fire of sun Puts out the light whereby we run  With girdled loins our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9123]]></link><description><![CDATA[No blast of air or fire of sun Puts out the light whereby we run  With girdled loins our lamplit race,   And each from each takes heart of grace    And spirit till his turn be done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Progress is precisely that which the rules and regulations did not foresee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47292]]></link><description><![CDATA[Progress is precisely that which the rules and regulations did not foresee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this world of extremes, we can only love too little. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25650]]></link><description><![CDATA[In this world of extremes, we can only love too little.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think I will do nothing for a long time but listen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66863]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think I will do nothing for a long time but listen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The price never stood in the way of her inclination. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50504]]></link><description><![CDATA[The price never stood in the way of her inclination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He fashioned hell for the inquisitive. [Lat., Curiosis fabricavit inferos.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19117]]></link><description><![CDATA[He fashioned hell for the inquisitive. [Lat., Curiosis fabricavit inferos.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Back of ninety-nine out of one-hundred assertions that a thing cannot be done is nothing, but the unwillingness to do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22578]]></link><description><![CDATA[Back of ninety-nine out of one-hundred assertions that a thing cannot be done is nothing, but the unwillingness to do it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is not one person's award.
