We modern pagans have to choose between that divine order, and the grey, dead, irresponsible, chaotic universe of atheism. And the tragedy is that we may make that choice without knowing it -- not by clear conviction but by vague drifting, by losing interest in Him. A nominal deist will say: "Yes, of course there must be some sort of Force that created the galaxy. But it's childish to imagine that It has any personal relation to me!" In that belief atheism exists as an undiagnosed disease. The man who says, "One God," and does not care, is an atheist in his heart. The man who speaks of God and will not recognize him in the burning bush -- that man is an atheist, though he speak with the tongues of men or angels, and appear in his pew every Sunday, and make large contributions to the church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[FINANCE, n.

But depend upon it, they do not by adding these words, or any words, bring it about that their prayers should be in the name of Christ. To pray in the name of Christ means to pray in such a way as represents Christ. The representative always must speak in the spirit and meaning of those for whom he speaks. If Christ is our representative, that must be because He speaks our wishes, or what we ought to make our wishes; and if we are to pray in the name of Christ, that means that we are, however far off, expressing His wishes and intentions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Karate is a form of martial arts in which people who have had years and years of training can, using ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23680]]></link><description><![CDATA[Karate is a form of martial arts in which people who have had years and years of training can, using only their hands and feet, make some of the worst movies in the history of the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've been working on getting balanced scoring.
