For actual behaviour infallibly betrays the real object of the man's worship. All Christians, whatever their Church, would of course instantly repudiate the idea that their god was a super-example of their own denomination, and it is not suggested that the worship is conscious. Nevertheless, beneath the conscious critical level of the mind it is perfectly possible for the Anglo-Catholic, for example, to conceive God as particularly pleased with Anglo-Catholicism, doubtful about Evangelicalism, and frankly displeased by all forms of Nonconformity... The ultra-low Churchman on the other hand must admit, if he is honest, that the God whom he worships disapproves most strongly of vestments, incense, and candles on the altar. The tragedy of these examples -- which could be reproduced ad nauseam any day of the week -- is not difference of opinion, which will probably be with us till the Day of Judgment, but the outrageous folly and damnable sin of trying to regard God as the Party Leader of a particular point of view.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that would be well, needs not goe from his owne house. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49414]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that would be well, needs not goe from his owne house.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anecdotes are sometimes the best vehicles of truth, and if striking and appropriate, are often more impressive and powerful than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2510]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anecdotes are sometimes the best vehicles of truth, and if striking and appropriate, are often more impressive and powerful than argument]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After last night's debate, the reputation of Messieurs Lincoln and Douglas is secure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11470]]></link><description><![CDATA[After last night's debate, the reputation of Messieurs Lincoln and Douglas is secure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You get paid to impact the world, not be impacted by it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21834]]></link><description><![CDATA[You get paid to impact the world, not be impacted by it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Diplomacy is the art of letting someone have your way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12312]]></link><description><![CDATA[Diplomacy is the art of letting someone have your way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The formula for water is H2O.
