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[DepLeted uranium is a warcrimein progress.Doug Rokkeappointed by Norman Schwarzkopf ascommander of a cleanup crew of several hundred,30 of whom ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61167]]></link><description><![CDATA[DepLeted uranium is a warcrimein progress.Doug Rokkeappointed by Norman Schwarzkopf ascommander of a cleanup crew of several hundred,30 of whom have died of cancerhttp://indymedia.org.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It may be the part of a friend to rebuke a friend's folly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66916]]></link><description><![CDATA[It may be the part of a friend to rebuke a friend's folly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You shall never want rope enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51062]]></link><description><![CDATA[You shall never want rope enough.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thirty years after drafting the US Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson warned of the dangers posed by the corporation, writing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10177]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thirty years after drafting the US Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson warned of the dangers posed by the corporation, writing of the need to "crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country."
