As a plain matter of fact, religion in this country is generally regarded as a tolerated pastime for such people as happen to like to indulge in occasional godly exercises -- as a strictly private matter in an increasingly close-knit and socially acting society -- in other words, as something that does not count. I should like to see the Church recognize that it has been pushed into the realm of the non-essentials, and to persuade it to fight like fury for the right and the duty to bring every act of America and Americans before the bar of God's judgment. [Christian leaders] are making valiant claim to such a right and duty; but the great mass of Church members are content to regard the Church as a conglomerate of private culture clubs, nice for christenings, weddings and funerals. Most Church members readily agree with the unchurched majority that it is not the proper business of the Church to criticize America or Americans.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seeing death as the end of life is like seeing the horizon as the end of the ocean. -David Searls. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18366]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seeing death as the end of life is like seeing the horizon as the end of the ocean. -David Searls.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I got about 6037 songs I wrote myself and I'm trying to get them on the market and I just ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36357]]></link><description><![CDATA[I got about 6037 songs I wrote myself and I'm trying to get them on the market and I just wish people could hear them and stuff but they'll do pretty good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Advertisements contain the only truths to be relied on in a newspaper. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/741]]></link><description><![CDATA[Advertisements contain the only truths to be relied on in a newspaper.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended-and not to take a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66850]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended-and not to take a hint when a hint isn\'t intended.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639  It is, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7756]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639  It is, of course, impossible to exaggerate the importance of the historicity of what is commonly known as the Resurrection. If, after all His claims and promises, Christ had died and merely lived on as a fragrant memory, He would only be revered as an extremely good but profoundly mistaken man. His claims to be God, His claims to be Himself the very principle of life, would be mere self-delusion. His authoritative pronouncements on the nature of God and Man and Life would be at once suspect. Why should He be right about the lesser things, if He was proved to be completely wrong in the greater?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justice, sir, is the great interest of man on earth.

You have only so much Religion as serves to disquiet you, to show you a handwriting on the wall, to interrupt your pleasures, and to appear as a death's-head at all your feasts, but not Religion enough to give you a taste and feeling of its pleasures. You dare not wholly neglect Religion, but then you take no more than is just sufficient to keep you from being a terror to yourself, and you are as loth to be very good as you are fearful to be very bad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No letters after your name are ever going to be a total guarantee of competence any more than they are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9203]]></link><description><![CDATA[No letters after your name are ever going to be a total guarantee of competence any more than they are a guarantee against fraud.
