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[Television is the first truly democratic culture, the first culture available to everybody and entirely governed by what the people ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Television is the first truly democratic culture, the first culture available to everybody and entirely governed by what the people want. the most terrifying thing is what people do want.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christians should never fail to sense the operation of an angelic glory.
