It is surely life itself that makes against belief in most cases. It is the contradiction in real life between any image of God as good -- whether God is "above", "beneath", or "within" -- that makes men atheists. Yet how few books and how few sermons touch on this basic problem! Our theological libraries are crammed with books devoted to every aspect of textual and higher criticism of the Bible; but of genuine theological thinking about the things which drive religion from men's hearts, there is appallingly little to be found. The archaeology of Christian origins seems largely to have replaced genuine theology.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My philosophy?

God has no more wrath in Himself now than He had before the creation, when He had only Himself to love... And it was solely to quench this wrath, awakened in the human soul, that the blood of the Son of God was necessary; because nothing but a life and birth, derived from Him into the human soul, could change this darkened root of a self-tormenting fire into an amiable image of the Holy Trinity as it was at first created.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the flower blooms, the bees come uninvited. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22079]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the flower blooms, the bees come uninvited.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A telescope will magnify a star a thousand times, but a good press agent can do even better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35134]]></link><description><![CDATA[A telescope will magnify a star a thousand times, but a good press agent can do even better.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51955]]></link><description><![CDATA[And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Speech is human nature itself, with none of the artificiality of written language. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57361]]></link><description><![CDATA[Speech is human nature itself, with none of the artificiality of written language.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sleep is good, death is better; but of course, the best thing would to have never been born at all ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56606]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sleep is good, death is better; but of course, the best thing would to have never been born at all]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24521]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here Ceres' gifts in waving prospect stand, And nodding tempt the joyful reaper's hand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1964]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here Ceres' gifts in waving prospect stand, And nodding tempt the joyful reaper's hand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have found (to my regret) that the degrees of shame and disgust which I actually feel at my own ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8523]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have found (to my regret) that the degrees of shame and disgust which I actually feel at my own sins do not at all correspond to what my reason tells me about their comparative gravity. Just as the degree to which, in daily life, I feel the emotion of fear has very little to do with my rational judgment of the danger. I'd sooner have really nasty seas when I'm in an open boat than look down in perfect (actual) safety from the edge of a cliff. Similarly, I have confessed ghastly uncharities with less reluctance than small unmentionables -- or those sins which happen to be ungentlemanly as well as unchristian. Our emotional reactions to our own behaviour are of limited ethical significance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25009]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man for himself, his own ends, the devil for all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12137]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man for himself, his own ends, the devil for all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12137</guid></item></channel></rss>
