I am referring to the almost total ignorance of the content and implication of the Christian Faith shown by many "clever" people today. Frankly, I find it horrifying to discover that men who are experts in their own line -- in astronomy, genetics, or nuclear physics, for example -- have no adult knowledge of what the Church of Christ stands for, and a complete blank ignorance of what the Church is achieving today. It is the more horrifying because people who rightly respect the expert for his knowledge in his own field have no idea that he has not carefully examined and reluctantly discarded Christianity; but in all probability he has never studied it at all!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is the delightful interval between meeting a beautiful girl and discovering that she looks like a haddock. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25789]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is the delightful interval between meeting a beautiful girl and discovering that she looks like a haddock.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are at enmity with yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44235]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are at enmity with yourself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is always a chance that he who sets himself up as his brother's keeper will end up by being ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27230]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is always a chance that he who sets himself up as his brother's keeper will end up by being his jail-keeper.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is the best of all possible worlds, and everything in it is a necessary evil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62213]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is the best of all possible worlds, and everything in it is a necessary evil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My playground was the theatre.

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[The basis for optimism is sheer terror. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45202]]></link><description><![CDATA[The basis for optimism is sheer terror.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All religions are founded on the fear of the many and the cleverness of the few. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53445]]></link><description><![CDATA[All religions are founded on the fear of the many and the cleverness of the few.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45253]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are quite confident the system has sufficient checks and balances. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40888]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are quite confident the system has sufficient checks and balances.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[she explains, ''but I think they really need to go back to their core constituents.
