Ideology may well be defined as religion-substitute. The fact that religious faith expresses itself in the particular ideological forms current in any given period is no reason why we should confuse religion with ideology; and, even though it requires a penetrating and candid investigation to distinguish between the genuinely religious and the merely ideological elements in the outlook of a particular period or individual, this does not mean that religion itself is an aspect of ideology. The core of religious belief is not ideological, whatever may be said of the soft pulp in which it is wrapped up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are still waiting to set the prices for the dinner because we have had to move to a larger ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34562]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are still waiting to set the prices for the dinner because we have had to move to a larger room in the center.

Every principle of selection, every separation connected with it that is not necessitated quite objectively by common work, local conditions, or family connections is of the greatest danger to a Christian community. When the way of intellectual or spiritual selection is taken, the human element always insinuates itself and robs the fellowship of its spiritual power and its effectiveness for the Church, and drives it into sectarianism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Martin, Monk, Bishop of Tours, 397  That God loves us in spite of our sin is the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6421]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Martin, Monk, Bishop of Tours, 397  That God loves us in spite of our sin is the Gospel truth; but this truth can only be shared by words, since good deeds are easily [taken to show] the opposite--that we love God. Faith is not understood when [it is] only demonstrated by life. The more sanctified a life without the verbal witness, the greater the danger of the Christian's goodness getting in the way. Should a person by the grace of God become easier to live with, he doesn't need to call attention to it: it will speak for itself. He can instead seek to balance the reverse effect of the good image by occasionally speaking of the unfavorable realities within, those parts that are still changing. In this way, his external behavior by contrast can point to the power of God, rather than to the effort of man. When we decrease, He can increase, but not until.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fearless are merely fearless.
