He must therefore plunge himself into the life of a godless world, without attempting to gloss over its ungodliness with a veneer of religion or trying to transfigure it. He must live a 'worldly' life and so participate in the suffering of God. He may live a worldly life as one emancipated from all false religions and obligations. To be a Christian does not mean to be religious in a particular way, to cultivate some particular form of asceticism (as a sinner, a penitent, or a saint), but to be a man. It is not some religious act which makes a Christian what he is, but participation in the suffering of God in the life of the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I despise the pleasure of pleasing people that I despise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46716]]></link><description><![CDATA[I despise the pleasure of pleasing people that I despise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46716</guid></item></channel></rss>
