It became quickly and readily apparent how cruel heretical teachings are and how prevalent the heresies are in contemporary times. Victims of these teachings have been encouraged to either to escape the world and their basic humanity into some form of flight and death or to use religion to undergird and isolate further their own self-centered self from the need to be loved and to love...   The conviction that heresy is cruel has given me a growing awe of and respect for orthodoxy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His was the sort of career that made the Recording Angel think seriously about taking up shorthand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60554]]></link><description><![CDATA[His was the sort of career that made the Recording Angel think seriously about taking up shorthand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So that the old joy, modest as cake, as wine and friendship Will stay with us at the last, backed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38729]]></link><description><![CDATA[So that the old joy, modest as cake, as wine and friendship Will stay with us at the last, backed by the night Whose ruse gave it our final meaning]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If errors must be tolerated, say some, then men may do what they please, without control.
