We don't despise God's name; in fact, we call upon it constantly to justify ourselves... If we object to meat-eating, we declare that God is vegetarian; if we abhor war, we proclaim a pacifist Deity. He who turned water into wine to gladden a wedding it now accused by many of favouring that abominable fluid grape juice. There can hardly be a more evil way of taking God's name in vain than this way of presuming to speak in it. For here is spiritual pride, the ultimate sin, in action -- the sin of believing in one's own righteousness. The true prophet says humbly, "To me, a sinful man, God spoke." But the scribes and Pharisees declare, "When we speak, God agrees." They feel no need of a special revelation, for they are always, in their own view, infallible. It is this self-righteousness of the pious that most breeds atheism, by inspiring all decent, ordinary men with loathing of the enormous lie.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'll put that in my considering cap. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59195]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'll put that in my considering cap.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are now in the third stage of the industrial revolution.

The first involved machines which extended human muscle; the second used machines to extend the human nervous system (radio, television, telephones); the third is now utilizing machines which extend the human mind-computers. About half of all service workers (43 percent of the labor force by 2000) will be involved in collecting, analyzing, synthesizing, structuring, storing, or retrieving information... By 1995, 80 percent of all management will be "knowledge workers.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44639]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is the view that poetry should improve your life.
