I contend that the historicity does matter, and I do not see why we, who live nearly two thousand years later, should call into question an Event for which there were many eye-witnesses still living at the time when most of the New Testament was written. It was no "cunningly devised fable" but an historic irruption of God into human history which gave birth to a young church so sturdy that the pagan world could not stifle or destroy it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O conscience, upright and stainless, how bitter a sting to thee is a little fault! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32660]]></link><description><![CDATA[O conscience, upright and stainless, how bitter a sting to thee is a little fault!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Public safety personnel will investigate door alarms and will respond to the building as needed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31228]]></link><description><![CDATA[Public safety personnel will investigate door alarms and will respond to the building as needed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She bids you on the wanton rushes lay you down And rest your gentle head upon her lap,  And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59937]]></link><description><![CDATA[She bids you on the wanton rushes lay you down And rest your gentle head upon her lap,  And she will sing the song that pleaseth you   And on your eyelids crown the god of sleep,    Charming your brood with pleasing heaviness,     Making such difference 'twixt wake and sleep      As is the difference betwixt day and night       The hour before the heavenly-harnessed team        Begins his golden progress in the east.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never again are we to look at the stars, as we did when we were children, and wonder how far ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6481]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never again are we to look at the stars, as we did when we were children, and wonder how far it is to God. A being outside our world would be a spectator, looking on but taking no part in this life, where we try to be brave despite all the bafflement. A god who created, and withdrew, could be mighty, but he could not be love. Who could love a God remote, when suffering is our lot?
