Well it is for the world that He was indeed a God of Battles. Well it is for us that He was to all the rest only a rival and a foe. In the ordinary way, it would have been only too easy for them to have achieved the desolate disaster of conceiving Him as a friend. It would have been only too easy for them to have seen Him stretching out His hands in love and reconciliation, embracing Baal and kissing the painted face of Astarte... It would have been easy enough for His worshipers to follow the enlightened course of Syncretism and the pooling of all the pagan traditions. It is obvious indeed that His followers were always sliding down this easy slope; and it required the almost demoniac energy of certain inspired demagogues, who testified to the divine unity in words that are still like winds of inspiration and ruin, [to stop them]. The more we really understand of the ancient conditions that contributed to the final culture of the Faith, the more we shall have a real and even a realistic reverence for the greatness of the Prophets of Israel. As it was, while the whole world melted into this mass of confused mythology, this Deity who is called tribal and narrow, precisely because He was what is called tribal and narrow, preserved the primary religion of all mankind. He was tribal enough to be universal. He was as narrow as the universe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My attitude is never to be satisfied, never enough, never. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22642]]></link><description><![CDATA[My attitude is never to be satisfied, never enough, never.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22642</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rolling fictions grow in strength and size, Each author adding to the former lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54561]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rolling fictions grow in strength and size, Each author adding to the former lies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It seems difficult, sometimes, to believe that there was a time when sentiments now become habitual, sentiments that imply not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40478]]></link><description><![CDATA[It seems difficult, sometimes, to believe that there was a time when sentiments now become habitual, sentiments that imply not only the original imperative of conduct, but the original metaphysic of living, were by no means altogether habitual.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers. -John Plomp. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45510]]></link><description><![CDATA[You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers. -John Plomp.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I agree with every word you write, and I can prove this in no better way than by taking your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/779]]></link><description><![CDATA[I agree with every word you write, and I can prove this in no better way than by taking your advice from beginning to end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some white people hate black people, and some white people love black people, some black people hate white people, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34244]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some white people hate black people, and some white people love black people, some black people hate white people, and some black people love white people.
