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[Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915  Covetousness, pride, and envy are not three different things, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6937]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915  Covetousness, pride, and envy are not three different things, but only three different names for the restless workings of one and the same will or desire. Wrath, which is a fourth birth from these three, can have no existence till one or all of these three are contradicted, or have something done to them that is contrary to their will. These four properties generate their own torment. They have no outward cause, nor any inward power of altering themselves. And therefore all self or nature must be in this state until some supernatural good comes into it, or gets a birth in it. Whilst man indeed lives among the vanities of time, his covetousness, envy, pride, and wrath may be in a tolerable state, may hold him to a mixture of peace and trouble; they may have at times their gratifications as well as their torments. But when death has put an end to the vanity of all earthly cheats, the soul that is not born again of the Supernatural Word and Spirit of God, must find itself unavoidably devoured and shut up in its own insatiable, unchangeable, self-tormenting covetousness, envy, pride, and wrath.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a universe of ambiguity, this kind of certainty comes only once, no matter how many lifetimes you live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5455]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a universe of ambiguity, this kind of certainty comes only once, no matter how many lifetimes you live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To err is human; to forget, divine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16519]]></link><description><![CDATA[To err is human; to forget, divine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16519</guid></item></channel></rss>
