The atheist [Friedrich] Nietzsche also saw the point and argued forcefully that the person who gives up belief in God must be consistent and give up Christian morals as well, because the former is the foundation of the latter. He had nothing but contempt for fellow humanists who refused to see that Christian morality cannot survive the loss of its theological moorings, except as habit or as lifeless tradition. As Ayn Rand also sees so clearly, love of the neighbor cannot be rationally justified within the framework of secular humanism. Love for one's neighbor is an ethical implication of the Christian position. This suggests to me that the world's deepest problem is not economic or technological, but spiritual and moral. What is missing is the vision of reality that can sustain the neighbor-oriented life style that is so urgently needed in our world today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pictures must not be too picturesque. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3329]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pictures must not be too picturesque.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet still there whispers the small voice within, Heard through Gain's silence, and o'er Glory's din;  Whatever creed be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9792]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet still there whispers the small voice within, Heard through Gain's silence, and o'er Glory's din;  Whatever creed be taught or land be trod,   Man's conscience is the oracle of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not that into the fake meat anymore.

In the beginning, John the Baptist had taught his disciples to expect from Christ the baptism -- not of water only, as in his baptism -- but of the Spirit. Before His death, Jesus had sought to fill His disciples' minds with the expectation of this gift... And that Spirit had come in sensible power upon them some ten days after Jesus disappeared for the last time from their eyes... And this Spirit was the Spirit of God, but also, and therefore, the Spirit of Jesus. Jesus was not then merely a past example, or a remote Lord, but an inward presence and power. A mere example in past history becomes in experience a feebler and feebler power... But the example of Jesus was something much more than a memory. For He who had taught them in the past how to live was alive in the heavenly places and was working within them by His Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you make a world tolerable for yourself, you make a world tolerable for others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65868]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you make a world tolerable for yourself, you make a world tolerable for others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were playing hardball and almost twisting their arm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33020]]></link><description><![CDATA[We were playing hardball and almost twisting their arm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pretty! in amber to observe the forms Of hairs, of straws, or dirt, or grubs, or worms!  The things, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61984]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pretty! in amber to observe the forms Of hairs, of straws, or dirt, or grubs, or worms!  The things, we know, are neither rich nor rare,   But wonder how the devil they got there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We who lived in the concentration camps can rememberthe men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away theirlast ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22676]]></link><description><![CDATA[We who lived in the concentration camps can rememberthe men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away theirlast piece of bread.
