Their leaders knew very well, however, that secularism, like any other parasite, derives its sustenance from the object on which it feeds, and so they were rather pleased when milquetoast Christians timidly offered, as a definition of secularism, "living as though God did not exist." What Christians should have called it was, rather, "a contemptibly fraudulent way of living on the cheap, by reaping the maximum fruits of Christian effort, while contributing the minimum effort of your own." When secularists accused Christians of "living in the past," the Christians ought to have retaliated by pointing out that secularists were "living off the past." By the time they got around to doing so, however, the majority of secularists had become morally incapable of seeing the point.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring and because it has fresh peaches ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24879]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring and because it has fresh peaches in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People realize that what we did in this agreement was push back against the corporation's main objective of turning this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29616]]></link><description><![CDATA[People realize that what we did in this agreement was push back against the corporation's main objective of turning this place into a [non-permanent] contract-hired staff.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the bitter waves of woe, Beaten and tossed about  By the sullen winds which blow   From ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57246]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the bitter waves of woe, Beaten and tossed about  By the sullen winds which blow   From the desolate shores of doubt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rousseau had it backwards.
