The reason is simple. Those attitudes and practices to which we give the collective name of religion are themselves concerned with religion hardly at all. To be religious is to have one's attention fixed on God and on one's neighbour in relation to God. Therefore, almost by definition, a religious man, or a man when he is being religious, is not thinking about religion; he hasn't the time. Religion is what we (or he himself at a later moment) call his activity from outside.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is feeling a tremendous amount of disappointment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32786]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is feeling a tremendous amount of disappointment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The virtues of society are vices of the saint.

You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People assume it's being tough on crime, but what you're doing is throwing these kids away.

Now there is something in our natural selves that may well make us wary of such a contact. The man who in his heart intends to go on being selfish or proud, or who has already decided how far his Christian convictions should carry him, is probably obeying a sound instinct when he keeps away from this glorious but perilous Sacrament. For, if the truth be told, men are often willing to put their trust in a god who in the end must be triumphant, simply because they want to be on the winning side; but they are not nearly so ready to bear any part of the cost of that winning. Yet the fellowship of the broken bread and the poured-out wine can mean no less than that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...consequence you'll see will be stranger than a gang of drunken mimes... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27487]]></link><description><![CDATA[...consequence you'll see will be stranger than a gang of drunken mimes...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the things that hamper Linux's climb to world domination is the shortage of bad Computer Role Playing Games, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25149]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the things that hamper Linux's climb to world domination is the shortage of bad Computer Role Playing Games, or CRaPGs.
