To deny God, man must ultimately deny that there is any law or reality. The full implications of this were seen in the [19th] century by two profound thinkers, one a Christian and the other a non-Christian.   [Friedrich W.] Nietzsche recognized fully that every atheist is an unwilling believer to the extent that he has any element of justice or order in his life, to the very extent that he is even alive and enjoys life. In his earlier writings, Nietzsche first attempted the creation of another set of standards and values, affirming life for a time, until he concluded that he could not affirm life itself nor give it any meaning, any value, apart from God. Thus Nietzsche's ultimate counsel was suicide; only then, [he asserted] can we truly deny God: and in his own life, this brilliant thinker -- one of the clearest in his description of modern Christianity and the contemporary issue -- did in effect commit a kind of psychic suicide.   The same concept was powerfully developed by [Fyodor M.] Dostoyevski, particularly in The Possessed, or, more literally, the Demon-Possessed. Kirilov, a thoroughly Nietzschean character, is very much concerned with denying God, asserting that he himself is God and that man does not need God. But at every point, Kirilov finds that no standard or structure in reality can be affirmed without ultimately asserting God, that no value can be asserted without being ultimately de rived from the Triune God. As a result, Kirilov committed suicide as the only apparently practical way of denying God and affirming himself -- for to be alive was to affirm this ontological deity in some fashion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This went from being a standard funeral to being an all-star game of American politics. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39022]]></link><description><![CDATA[This went from being a standard funeral to being an all-star game of American politics.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men of quality are in the wrong to undervalue, as they often do, the practise of a fair and quick ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46023]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men of quality are in the wrong to undervalue, as they often do, the practise of a fair and quick hand in writing; for it is no immaterial accomplishment. [Lat., Non sest aliena res, quae fere ab honestis negligi solet, cura bene ac velociter scribendi.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46023</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings; Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings. -King Richard III. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56017]]></link><description><![CDATA[True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings; Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings. -King Richard III.

It would not be true to affirm that the denominations are not religious groups with religious purposes; but it is true that they represent the accommodation of religion to the caste system. They are emblems, therefore, of the victory of the world over the church, of the secularization of Christianity, of the church's sanction of that divisiveness which the church's gospel condemns.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I got the ball I just went hard toward the box and on this field it's easier to stay ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39071]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I got the ball I just went hard toward the box and on this field it's easier to stay in front so I just made sure to keep the ball.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who would live must fight, he who will not fight in this world where eternal struggle is the law ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15658]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who would live must fight, he who will not fight in this world where eternal struggle is the law of life, has not the right to exist.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Farce follow'd Comedy, and reach'd her prime. In ever-laughing Foote's fantastic time;  Mad wag! who pardon'd none, nor spared ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/415]]></link><description><![CDATA[Farce follow'd Comedy, and reach'd her prime. In ever-laughing Foote's fantastic time;  Mad wag! who pardon'd none, nor spared the best,   And turn'd some very serious things to jest.    Nor church nor state escaped his public sneers,     Arms nor the gown, priests, lawyers, volunteers;      "Alas, poor Yorick!" now forever mute!       Whoever loves a laugh must sigh for Foote.        We smile, perforce, when histrionic scenes         Ape the swoln dialogue of kings and queens,          When "Chrononhotonthelogos must die,"           And Arthur struts in mimic majesty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[ITA SAFE not only helps banks best address regulatory compliance, but enables them to provide the most secure online transactions ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42361]]></link><description><![CDATA[ITA SAFE not only helps banks best address regulatory compliance, but enables them to provide the most secure online transactions for their customers.
