Their leaders knew very well, however, that secularism, like any other parasite, derives its sustenance from the object on which it feeds, and so they were rather pleased when milquetoast Christians timidly offered, as a definition of secularism, "living as though God did not exist." What Christians should have called it was, rather, "a contemptibly fraudulent way of living on the cheap, by reaping the maximum fruits of Christian effort, while contributing the minimum effort of your own." When secularists accused Christians of "living in the past," the Christians ought to have retaliated by pointing out that secularists were "living off the past." By the time they got around to doing so, however, the majority of secularists had become morally incapable of seeing the point.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have heard that Tiberius used to say that that man was ridiculous, who after sixth years, appealed to a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26705]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have heard that Tiberius used to say that that man was ridiculous, who after sixth years, appealed to a physician.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All a musician can do is to get closer to the sources of nature, and so feel that he is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23140]]></link><description><![CDATA[All a musician can do is to get closer to the sources of nature, and so feel that he is in communion with the natural laws.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Saint abroad, and a devil at home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20219]]></link><description><![CDATA[Saint abroad, and a devil at home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy is based upon the conviction that there are extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11898]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy is based upon the conviction that there are extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martyrs of Papua New Guinea, 1942  Whence comes this idea that if what we are doing is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7653]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martyrs of Papua New Guinea, 1942  Whence comes this idea that if what we are doing is fun, it can't be God's will?
