You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[According to these breathless reports and baseless hysteria, some have convinced the American Library Association that under the bipartisan Patriot ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38747]]></link><description><![CDATA[According to these breathless reports and baseless hysteria, some have convinced the American Library Association that under the bipartisan Patriot Act, the FBI is not fighting terrorism.

And when one does this, or is ready to do this, prayer even for "us" seems too selfish -- and it is unnecessary, for we then possess all that God Himself can give us. The easy renunciation of self for the Beloved becomes the very breath of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is the matter with Kansas? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51856]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is the matter with Kansas?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We make everything funny, you wouldn't believe the things we laugh at.
