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[The best way to make children good is to make them happy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6004]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way to make children good is to make them happy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quality is not an act, it is a habit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18515]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quality is not an act, it is a habit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25667]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The dream is short, repentance long. [Ger., Der Wahn ist kurtz, die Reu ist lang.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53824]]></link><description><![CDATA[The dream is short, repentance long. [Ger., Der Wahn ist kurtz, die Reu ist lang.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63878]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's wrong with being a boring kind of guy?. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4736]]></link><description><![CDATA[What's wrong with being a boring kind of guy?.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Aim at perfection in everything, though in most things it is unattainable.

They say that it makes us so free that it cannot be the truth. To them it is like believing in fairyland to believe in such freedom as we enjoy. It is like believing in men with wings to entertain the fancy of men with wills. It is like accepting a fable about a squirrel in conversation with a mountain to believe in a man who is free to ask or a God who is free to answer. This is a manly and a rational negation, for which I for one shall always show respect. But I decline to show any respect for those who first of all clip the bird and cage the squirrel, rivet the chains and refuse the freedom, close all the doors of the cosmic prison on us with a clang of eternal iron, tell us that our emancipation is a dream and our dungeon a necessity; and then calmly turn round and tell us they have a freer thought and a more liberal theology.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6038]]></link><description><![CDATA[Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
