But if these holy places, things, and days cease to remind us, if they obliterate our awareness that all ground is holy and every bush (could we but perceive it) a Burning Bush, then the hallows begin to do harm. Hence both the necessity, and the perennial danger, of "religion".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The jury has a right to judge both the law as well as the fact in controversy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47475]]></link><description><![CDATA[The jury has a right to judge both the law as well as the fact in controversy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?

I get upset about it, because I feel that we American Christians make too much of it, and too little. Too little of it, because we pile all sorts of other things onto it, including some that have only the feeblest connection with the Event it is supposed to commemorate. If God did become a man, in any real sense, it is the most important thing that ever happened. Surely we, who believe it, could well devote one day a year to uninterrupted contemplation of the fact, and let Saturnalia fall on the winter solstice, where it belongs.   On the other hand, we make so much of the actual birth, and forget the things that make it more than just the birth of a baby (though even that is, in Walt Whitman's phrase, "miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels") -- more, even, than the birth of the greatest man who ever lived. We forget the promise to Eve of a descendant who will solve the problem of Evil; the promise to Abraham of one by whom all mankind will be blessed; the promise to Moses of a greater prophet than he, to arise from his people; and the promise to David of a Son who would be his Master. We forget about the eternal Purpose behind it all: it's like telling a story and leaving out the point. Yes, it is true that God gave us His Son, and so maybe we ought also to give gifts -- but what, and to whom? It is also true that God gave us Himself, and the only sensible response to that is to give ourselves to Him. There is nothing else that He wants from us, or, if there is something, He can take it. Only I, my ego, my heart, is truly mine to give or to withhold -- and is therefore the appropriate gift to Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who invalidate reason ought seriously to consider whether they argue against reason with or without reason; if with reason, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34747]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who invalidate reason ought seriously to consider whether they argue against reason with or without reason; if with reason, then they establish the principles that they are laboring to dethrone: but if they argue without reason (which, in order to be consistent with themselves they must do), they are out of reach of rational conviction, nor do they deserve a rational argument.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone was friendly, helpful and I always enjoyed coming here.
