When I was a child, bishops expressed doubts about the Resurrection, and were called courageous. When I was a girl, G. K. Chesterton professed belief in the Resurrection, and was called whimsical. When I was at college, thoughtful people expressed belief in the Resurrection "in a spiritual sense", and were called advanced; (any other kind of belief was called obsolete, and its professors were held to be simpleminded). When I was middle-aged, a number of lay persons, including some poets and writers of popular fiction, put forward rational arguments for the Resurrection, and were called courageous. Today, any lay apologist for Christianity... whose works are sold and read, is liable to be abused in no uncertain terms as a mountebank, a reactionary, a tool of the Inquisition, a spiritual snob, an intellectual bully, an escapist, an obstructionist, a psychopathic introvert, an insensitive extrovert, and an enemy of society. The charges are not always mutually compatible, but the common animus behind them is unmistakable, and its name is fear. Writers who attack these domineering Christians are called courageous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it enkindles the great. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/132]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it enkindles the great.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65649]]></link><description><![CDATA[A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The size of the universe depresses many people, but not me, I'm delighted at it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60181]]></link><description><![CDATA[The size of the universe depresses many people, but not me, I'm delighted at it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(Olivia:) What's a drunken man like, fool? (Clown:) Like a drowned man, a fool, and a madman.
