When I was a child, bishops expressed doubts about the Resurrection, and were called courageous. When I was a girl, G. K. Chesterton professed belief in the Resurrection, and was called whimsical. When I was at college, thoughtful people expressed belief in the Resurrection "in a spiritual sense", and were called advanced; (any other kind of belief was called obsolete, and its professors were held to be simpleminded). When I was middle-aged, a number of lay persons, including some poets and writers of popular fiction, put forward rational arguments for the Resurrection, and were called courageous. Today, any lay apologist for Christianity... whose works are sold and read, is liable to be abused in no uncertain terms as a mountebank, a reactionary, a tool of the Inquisition, a spiritual snob, an intellectual bully, an escapist, an obstructionist, a psychopathic introvert, an insensitive extrovert, and an enemy of society. The charges are not always mutually compatible, but the common animus behind them is unmistakable, and its name is fear. Writers who attack these domineering Christians are called courageous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45756]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What a man does by the agency of another is his own act. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50558]]></link><description><![CDATA[What a man does by the agency of another is his own act.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was a man of the people, so this is a wonderful tribute; he loved America and it's fitting that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38044]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was a man of the people, so this is a wonderful tribute; he loved America and it's fitting that the country recognizes him as a national treasure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the way that physicians mend or end us, Secundum artem: but although we sneer  In health--when ill, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26684]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the way that physicians mend or end us, Secundum artem: but although we sneer  In health--when ill, we call them to attend us,   Without the least propensity to jeer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The uncommitted life isn't worth living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2002]]></link><description><![CDATA[The uncommitted life isn't worth living.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our country, right or wrong!
