We don't despise God's name; in fact, we call upon it constantly to justify ourselves... If we object to meat-eating, we declare that God is vegetarian; if we abhor war, we proclaim a pacifist Deity. He who turned water into wine to gladden a wedding it now accused by many of favouring that abominable fluid grape juice. There can hardly be a more evil way of taking God's name in vain than this way of presuming to speak in it. For here is spiritual pride, the ultimate sin, in action -- the sin of believing in one's own righteousness. The true prophet says humbly, "To me, a sinful man, God spoke." But the scribes and Pharisees declare, "When we speak, God agrees." They feel no need of a special revelation, for they are always, in their own view, infallible. It is this self-righteousness of the pious that most breeds atheism, by inspiring all decent, ordinary men with loathing of the enormous lie.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52195]]></link><description><![CDATA[Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We left a lot of plays on the field, whether it was a bad route, bad throw or dropped pass. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34637]]></link><description><![CDATA[We left a lot of plays on the field, whether it was a bad route, bad throw or dropped pass.
