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[To talk to someone who does not listen is enough to tense the devil. - Talking to Myself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43526]]></link><description><![CDATA[To talk to someone who does not listen is enough to tense the devil. - Talking to Myself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He told me he wasn't getting into the middle of this. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40762]]></link><description><![CDATA[He told me he wasn't getting into the middle of this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you've heard this story before, don't stop me, because I'd like to hear it again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23311]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you've heard this story before, don't stop me, because I'd like to hear it again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise government knows how to enforce with temper, or to conciliate with dignity, but a weak one is odious ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18011]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise government knows how to enforce with temper, or to conciliate with dignity, but a weak one is odious in the former, and contemptible in the latter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In things pertaining to enthusiasm, no man is sane who does not know how to be insane on proper occasions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13968]]></link><description><![CDATA[In things pertaining to enthusiasm, no man is sane who does not know how to be insane on proper occasions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable?
