Since it happened only once, it is by Hume's standards infinitely improbable. But then, the whole history of the Earth has also happened only once: is it therefore incredible? Hence the difficulty, which weighs upon Christian and atheist alike, of estimating the probability of the Incarnation. It is like asking whether the existence of nature herself is intrinsically probable. That is why it is easier to argue, on historical grounds, that the Incarnation actually occurred than to show, on philosophical grounds, the probability of its occurrence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Loud o'er my head though awful thunders roll, And vivid lightnings flash from pole to pole,  Yet 'tis Thy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57904]]></link><description><![CDATA[Loud o'er my head though awful thunders roll, And vivid lightnings flash from pole to pole,  Yet 'tis Thy voice, my God, that bids them fly,   Thy arm directs those lightnings through the sky.    Then let the good Thy mighty name revere,     And hardened sinners Thy just vengeance fear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In private grief with careless scorn.

A great many people sermonising in our churches today would be better off and of greater service if they absolved themselves from the bondage and disciplines of the pulpit and came down among their congregations, teaching informally on sounder educational principles. After all, the vital matter in the ministry of the Word is not that a clergyman delivers himself of a discourse but that the people to whom he ministers end up being taught something. The tragedy is that the professional clergy have been trained to sermonise and they seem overwhelmed with fears and a sense of insecurity when they contemplate other methods. A further problem, of course, is that most of our churches contain a significant number of people who become emotionally disturbed at any departure from what they have always done in the past. To them, the sermon is part of their Christianity -- even if it bores them stiff!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's so much better to desire than to have. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29458]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's so much better to desire than to have.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The country and the Congress were misled into war.
