The atheist [Friedrich] Nietzsche also saw the point and argued forcefully that the person who gives up belief in God must be consistent and give up Christian morals as well, because the former is the foundation of the latter. He had nothing but contempt for fellow humanists who refused to see that Christian morality cannot survive the loss of its theological moorings, except as habit or as lifeless tradition. As Ayn Rand also sees so clearly, love of the neighbor cannot be rationally justified within the framework of secular humanism. Love for one's neighbor is an ethical implication of the Christian position. This suggests to me that the world's deepest problem is not economic or technological, but spiritual and moral. What is missing is the vision of reality that can sustain the neighbor-oriented life style that is so urgently needed in our world today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To see what is right and not to do it, is want of courage. -Confucius Analects. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10401]]></link><description><![CDATA[To see what is right and not to do it, is want of courage. -Confucius Analects.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although it is unlikely that the Iranian nuclear dispute will lead to a curtailment of oil shipments, there is clearly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28410]]></link><description><![CDATA[Although it is unlikely that the Iranian nuclear dispute will lead to a curtailment of oil shipments, there is clearly a large premium on oil prices due to the ongoing tensions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28410</guid></item></channel></rss>
