So he automatically writes off any Biblical account of a wondrous happening which suggests that there is an order of reality transcending the observable regularities of nature and occasionally breaking in upon them. Nor is rational skepticism content with jettisoning the Bible's miracle stories. It also dismisses other passages on the grounds that they reflect the ignorance and prejudice of a particular age, or the propaganda interests of the Church at a particular stage of its development. Its basic rule of Biblical interpretation is: "When in doubt, throw it out." And the highest scores in the game of radical reductionism are awarded to pedagogues who find the most novel and far-fetched reasons for doubting that any part of the Bible really means what it says.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Charles Simeon, Pastor, Teacher, 1836   The Church seems to have lost heart somewhat, has allowed the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7548]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Charles Simeon, Pastor, Teacher, 1836   The Church seems to have lost heart somewhat, has allowed the old assurance and enthusiasm to cool below the temperature at which big things get done, is always whimpering and complaining about something, has developed a foolish trick of gathering into corners in discouraged groups and bleating disconsolately that God seems to be strangely little in our day, the very mood that so maddened the Hebrew prophets that they itched to lay violent hands upon their countrymen, and literally shake it out of them. We Church people have become so prone to loud and abusive self-depreciation that the thing amounts to a disease... and though these doleful spirits are not altogether serious, the world is listening, and takes us, not unnaturally, at our own dismal and unflattering valuation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The kiss you take is paid by that you give: The joy is mutual, and I'm still in debt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23832]]></link><description><![CDATA[The kiss you take is paid by that you give: The joy is mutual, and I'm still in debt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who has faith has... an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14991]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who has faith has... an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well - even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16944]]></link><description><![CDATA[True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't want to pinch, ...
