To justify Christianity because it provides a foundation of morality, instead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion; and we may reflect that a good deal of the attention of totalitarian states has been devoted with a steadfastness of purpose not always found in democracies, to providing their national life with a foundation of morality -- the wrong kind, perhaps, but a good deal more of it. It is not enthusiasm, but dogma, that differentiates a Christian from a pagan society.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1176]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
