At other times, he will stand as a co-belligerent with the radicals in their outrage and just demands for redress. The Christian is a co-belligerent with either or both when either or both are right, but... fearless in his opposition to either or both when they are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two phenomena, in my view, are particularly disturbing: One is the prevalence of the use of torture to extract confessions ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41096]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two phenomena, in my view, are particularly disturbing: One is the prevalence of the use of torture to extract confessions and information and the second one is the intimidation of those who make complaints against public officials.
