I was lucky but other Americans are not.

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[Earth took her shining station as a star, In Heaven's dark hall, high up the crowd of worlds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62193]]></link><description><![CDATA[Earth took her shining station as a star, In Heaven's dark hall, high up the crowd of worlds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't win if you don't play as a unit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3798]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't win if you don't play as a unit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had dinner and went to bed.

Nothing else will meet my case. There is something genuinely at stake in every man's life, the climax whereof is death. Dying is inevitable, but arriving at the destination God offers to me is not inevitable. It is not impossible to go out of the way and fail to arrive. Christian doctrine has always urged that life eternal is something which may conceivably be missed. It is possible to neglect this great salvation and to lose it eternally, even though no man may say that anything is impossible with God or that his grace may ultimately be defeated. I know it is no longer fashionable to talk about Hell, one good reason for this being that to make religion into a prudential insurance policy is to degrade it. The Faith is not a fire-escape.
