First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Local production will make our position even stronger since we can offer our main volume model at a very competitive ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35189]]></link><description><![CDATA[Local production will make our position even stronger since we can offer our main volume model at a very competitive price.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Facts do not "speak for themselves."

I do not pretend to understand the ways of God any more than the next man; but it is surely more fitting as well as more sensible for us to study what God does do and what He does not do as He works in and through the complex fabric of this disintegrated world, than to postulate what we think God ought to do and then feel demoralized and bitterly disappointed because He fails to fulfil what we expect of Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politics is for the present, but an equation is for eternity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46909]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politics is for the present, but an equation is for eternity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46909</guid></item></channel></rss>
