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[A guy ran a red light like at 2AM, got home fine, no police saw him or anything like that. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17221]]></link><description><![CDATA[A guy ran a red light like at 2AM, got home fine, no police saw him or anything like that.

So a few weeks pass and he gets another letter, this one has a photo of handcuffs. He promptly paid the bill.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I picked up some software and some books and got online, ... and there were all these Danni Ashe pictures ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32614]]></link><description><![CDATA[I picked up some software and some books and got online, ... and there were all these Danni Ashe pictures all over the newsgroup.

For where unification has been able to establish unity of ideas it has usually ended in uniformity, paralysing the growth of new ideas. And where the unification has merely brought about an artificial or imposed unity, its irksomeness has led through discord to disruption.Vitality springs from diversity- which makes for real progress so long as there is mutual toleration, based on the recognition that worse may come from an attempt to suppress differences than from acceptance of them. For this reason, the kind of peace that makes progress possible is best assured by the mutual checks created by a balance of forces- alike in the sphere of internal politics and of international relations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anybody who thinks talk is cheap has never argued with a traffic cop. -Henny Youngman. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9068]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anybody who thinks talk is cheap has never argued with a traffic cop. -Henny Youngman.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't enjoy it when he gets you out and makes you look a monkey.
