First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing in his life became him like the leaving it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11229]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing in his life became him like the leaving it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fantastic advances in the field of electronic communication constitute a greater danger to the privacy of the individual. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9064]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fantastic advances in the field of electronic communication constitute a greater danger to the privacy of the individual.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You punch me, I punch back.

We are bound to Him, and not He to us, because before He was loved, He loved us... There it is, then: we cannot... love Him with this first love. Yet I say that God demands of us, that as He has loved us without any second thoughts, so He should be loved by us. In what way can we do this, then? ... I tell you, through a means which he has established, by which we can love Him freely; ... that is, we can be useful, not to Him -- which is impossible -- but to our neighbor... To show the love that we have for Him, we ought to serve and love every rational creature and extend our charity to good and bad -- as much to one who does us ill service and criticizes us as to one who serves us.
