But there is a saner sense in which the Bible -- since it is, after all, literature -- cannot properly be read except as literature, and the different parts of it as the different sorts of literature they are. Most emphatically, the Psalms must be read as poems -- as lyrics, with all the licenses and all the formalities, the hyperboles, the emotional rather than logical connections, which are proper to lyric poetry... Otherwise we shall miss what is in them and think we see what is not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone can hate.

For instance, although there are some 200,000 "errors" among the New Testament manuscripts, these appear in only about 10,000 places, and only about one-sixtieth rise above the level of trivialities. Westcott and Hort, Ezra Abbot, Philip Schaff, and A. T. Robertson have carefully evaluated the evidence and have concluded that the New Testament text is over 99 percent pure. In the light of the fact that there are over 5,000 Greek manuscripts, some 9,000 versions and translations, the evidence for the integrity of the New Testament is beyond question.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis in grain, sir; 'twill endure wind and weather. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51524]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis in grain, sir; 'twill endure wind and weather.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem.

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[This is the snobbery of the people on the Mayflower looking down their noses at the people who came over ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56707]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the snobbery of the people on the Mayflower looking down their noses at the people who came over ON THE SECOND BOAT!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The stricter standards and independent, often conclusive, evidence in the physical sciences cannot be generalized to intellectual activity as a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52172]]></link><description><![CDATA[The stricter standards and independent, often conclusive, evidence in the physical sciences cannot be generalized to intellectual activity as a whole, even though the aura of scientific processes and results is often appropriated by other intellectuals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm really hoping that everyone can stay healthy, ... because I feel that we have a team and a nucleus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38373]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm really hoping that everyone can stay healthy, ... because I feel that we have a team and a nucleus that really can get us to where we want to be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's not only big and strong, he's got moves.
