I am referring to the almost total ignorance of the content and implication of the Christian Faith shown by many "clever" people today. Frankly, I find it horrifying to discover that men who are experts in their own line -- in astronomy, genetics, or nuclear physics, for example -- have no adult knowledge of what the Church of Christ stands for, and a complete blank ignorance of what the Church is achieving today. It is the more horrifying because people who rightly respect the expert for his knowledge in his own field have no idea that he has not carefully examined and reluctantly discarded Christianity; but in all probability he has never studied it at all!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rich and rare were the gems she wore, And a bright gold ring on her wand she bore. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17778]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rich and rare were the gems she wore, And a bright gold ring on her wand she bore.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My father told me that if you saw a man in a Rolls Royce you could be sure he was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/879]]></link><description><![CDATA[My father told me that if you saw a man in a Rolls Royce you could be sure he was not a gentleman unless he was the chauffeur.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give me but one hour of Scotland, Let me see it ere I die.   - William Edmondstoune Aytoun, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54886]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give me but one hour of Scotland, Let me see it ere I die.   - William Edmondstoune Aytoun,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eskimo: "If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?"

Now there is something in our natural selves that may well make us wary of such a contact. The man who in his heart intends to go on being selfish or proud, or who has already decided how far his Christian convictions should carry him, is probably obeying a sound instinct when he keeps away from this glorious but perilous Sacrament. For, if the truth be told, men are often willing to put their trust in a god who in the end must be triumphant, simply because they want to be on the winning side; but they are not nearly so ready to bear any part of the cost of that winning. Yet the fellowship of the broken bread and the poured-out wine can mean no less than that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of middle-class black people think that the Democrats have nothing new to say about race, that their ideas ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41816]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lot of middle-class black people think that the Democrats have nothing new to say about race, that their ideas are bankrupt, and that the party basically takes their loyalty for granted, ...
