Some followers of the Rev. R. J. Campbell, in their almost too fastidious spirituality, admit divine sinlessness, which they cannnot see even in their dreams. But they essentially deny human sin, which they can see in the street. The strongest saints and the strongest sceptics alike took positive evil as the starting-point of their argument. If it be true (as it certainly is) that a man can feel exquisite happiness in skinning a cat, then the religious philosopher can only draw one of two deductions. He must either deny the existence of God, as all atheists do; or he must deny the present union between God and Man, as all Christians do. The new theologians seem to think it a highly rationalistic solution to deny the cat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We would certainly love to welcome her back somewhere down the road. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38758]]></link><description><![CDATA[We would certainly love to welcome her back somewhere down the road.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Creeds were formulated gradually, as a result of a series of desperate controversies -- controversies which are now named ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6996]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Creeds were formulated gradually, as a result of a series of desperate controversies -- controversies which are now named sometimes after the supposed leaders and representatives of a particular interpretation of the Christian religion, and sometimes after the particular interpretation itself. I need not now attempt to make precise these heresies, as they came to be called. It is necessary only to point out that in various ways all these heresies were simplifications. By means of them the revelation of God to men was made, or appeared to be made, less scandalous. On the other hand, the various clauses of the Creed were not formulated as a new simplification, or as an alternative-ism. They were nothing more than emphatic statements of the Biblical scandal, statements which brought into sharp antagonism the new simplification and the old, Scriptural, many-sided and vigorous truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women love us for our defects.
