There is one Holy God, creator of heaven and earth. He is Lord of all life. To Him we are beholden for our life in all its meaning and its hope. Monotheism for the Christian means that anything else which is put in the place of our loyalty to God is an idol. The worship of national power, or racial prestige, or financial success, or cultural tradition, is a violation of the one truth about life, that all created things come from God. To commit life to the one true God is to refuse to have any other gods at all. Values there are in abundance, interests, plans, programs, loyalties to family and nation. But these are not gods; they do not save us; they are not holy in themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men say, "How are we to act, what are we to teach our children, now that we are no longer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8533]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men say, "How are we to act, what are we to teach our children, now that we are no longer Christians?" You see, gentlemen, how I would answer that question. You are deceived in thinking that the morality of your father was based on Christianity. On the contrary, Christianity presupposed it. That morality stands exactly where it did; its basis has not been withdrawn, for, in a sense, it never had a basis. The ultimate ethical injunctions have always been premises, never conclusions. Kant was perfectly right on that point at least, the imperative is categorical. Unless the ethical is assumed from the outset, no argument will bring you to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Matilda told such dreadful lies It made one gasp and stretch one's eyes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26159]]></link><description><![CDATA[Matilda told such dreadful lies It made one gasp and stretch one's eyes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a tendency around the world today to copy TV culture.
