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[Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23596]]></link><description><![CDATA[Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He touches nothing but he adds a charm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48964]]></link><description><![CDATA[He touches nothing but he adds a charm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Between those two we need gradual increases of complexity and achievements to keep the public interest, to keep the funding, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30920]]></link><description><![CDATA[Between those two we need gradual increases of complexity and achievements to keep the public interest, to keep the funding, to keep the political support going.

(It may well mean more problems.) But it does mean a life in which two people are able to accept each other and love each other in the midst of problems and fears.
