This terrible subject would require a book to itself. Here it will be enough to say that the Heavenly Society is also an earthly society. Our (merely natural) patriotism towards the latter can very easily borrow the transcendent claims of the former and use them to justify the most abominable actions. If ever the book which I am not going to write is written, it must be the full confession by Christendom of Christendom's specific contribution to the sum of human cruelty and treachery. Large areas of "the World" will not hear us till we have publicly disowned much of our past. Why should they? We have shouted the name of Christ and enacted the service of Moloch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perhaps the day may come when we shall remember these sufferings with joy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51823]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perhaps the day may come when we shall remember these sufferings with joy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had a nice drive right off the bat, but we couldn't get the job done, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37464]]></link><description><![CDATA[We had a nice drive right off the bat, but we couldn't get the job done,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59566]]></link><description><![CDATA[The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intelligence has nothing to do with politics. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47272]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intelligence has nothing to do with politics.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The well-being for this area was dependent upon tobacco especially in the Pee Dee and in the state of South ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37065]]></link><description><![CDATA[The well-being for this area was dependent upon tobacco especially in the Pee Dee and in the state of South Carolina.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opinions are formed in a process of open discussion and public debate, and where no opportunity for the forming of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36264]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opinions are formed in a process of open discussion and public debate, and where no opportunity for the forming of opinions exists, there may be moods /moods of the masses and moods of individuals, the latter no less fickle and unreliable than the former /but no opinion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36264</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your heart's desires be with you! -As You Like It.
