This is plainly what has happened to many otherwise intelligent people. Over the years I have had hundreds of conversations with people, many of them of higher intellectual calibre than my own, who quite obviously had no idea of what Christianity is really about. I was in no case trying to catch them out: I was simply and gently trying to find out what they knew about the New Testament. My conclusion was that they knew virtually nothing. This I find pathetic and somewhat horrifying. It means that the most important Event in human history is politely and quietly bypassed. For it is not as though the evidence had been examined and found unconvincing: it had simply never been examined.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But Hercules himself must yield to odds; And many strokes, though with a little axe,  Hews down and fells ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46167]]></link><description><![CDATA[But Hercules himself must yield to odds; And many strokes, though with a little axe,  Hews down and fells the hardest-timbered oak.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They made and recorded a sort of institute and digest of anarchy, called the rights of man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54264]]></link><description><![CDATA[They made and recorded a sort of institute and digest of anarchy, called the rights of man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54264</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20480]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. . . congenital killers and criminals are possessed of not one but two Y chromosomes, bearing a double dose, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23710]]></link><description><![CDATA[. . . congenital killers and criminals are possessed of not one but two Y chromosomes, bearing a double dose, as it were, of genetically undesirable maleness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No more slave States and no more slave territory.   - Salmon Portland Chase, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56579]]></link><description><![CDATA[No more slave States and no more slave territory.   - Salmon Portland Chase,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Future Shock is the shattering stress and disorientation that we induce in individuals by subjecting them to too much change ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Future Shock is the shattering stress and disorientation that we induce in individuals by subjecting them to too much change in too short a time. -Alvin Toffler.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Treading beneath their feet all visible things, As steps that upwards to their Father's throne  Lead gradual. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18383]]></link><description><![CDATA[Treading beneath their feet all visible things, As steps that upwards to their Father's throne  Lead gradual.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never try to teach a pig to sing.

Be very sure that upon Calvary it was no strange, immoral favouritism that came into operation, whereby because of some beliefs that remain mere dead letters, that produce no change whatever in their characters, some people living the same kind of life as others and following the same selfish interests and ends as they, are given a destiny entirely different. That is the vainest of vain dreams.
