There is something more true in his denunciation of idolatry as sin than in our denial that it is possible for a man to worship an idol, or in our suggestion that all idolatry is only a road to spiritual worship of the one true God... One day, I think, we shall return to these stern doctrines, realizing in them a truth more profound than we now know, and then we shall preach them with conviction, and, being convinced ourselves, we shall convince others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The soul is that which denies the body.

So he automatically writes off any Biblical account of a wondrous happening which suggests that there is an order of reality transcending the observable regularities of nature and occasionally breaking in upon them. Nor is rational skepticism content with jettisoning the Bible's miracle stories. It also dismisses other passages on the grounds that they reflect the ignorance and prejudice of a particular age, or the propaganda interests of the Church at a particular stage of its development. Its basic rule of Biblical interpretation is: "When in doubt, throw it out." And the highest scores in the game of radical reductionism are awarded to pedagogues who find the most novel and far-fetched reasons for doubting that any part of the Bible really means what it says.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Under this bill, Duke Cunningham still would be able to get away with trading bribes for earmarks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39738]]></link><description><![CDATA[Under this bill, Duke Cunningham still would be able to get away with trading bribes for earmarks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That place that does contain My books, the best companions, is to me  A glorious court, where hourly I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4534]]></link><description><![CDATA[That place that does contain My books, the best companions, is to me  A glorious court, where hourly I converse   With the old sages and philosophers;    And sometimes, for variety, I confer     With kings and emperors, and weigh their counsels;      Calling their victories, if unjustly got,       Unto a strict account, and, in my fancy,        Deface their ill-placed statues.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Goals are dreams with deadlines. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17624]]></link><description><![CDATA[Goals are dreams with deadlines.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't study the darkness by flooding it with light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65714]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't study the darkness by flooding it with light.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56703]]></link><description><![CDATA[My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[According to some experts, the American Healthcare system is on the brink of failure.] We certainly are in a health ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41452]]></link><description><![CDATA[[According to some experts, the American Healthcare system is on the brink of failure.] We certainly are in a health care crisis, ...
