Take the "obvious things" about Christ as listed by a contemporary minister:  He was a popular and controversial preacher; He gathered a group of followers; He spent most of his time with the disinherited; He taught with authority; He never married; He never (so far as we know) held a job; He did not participate in public affairs; He did not have income, property, or an address; He was in bitter and frequent conflict with the religious and political authorities; He seemed to expect that the world would be eminently, radically, and supernaturally transformed; He attacked the traditions and values of his own people; He practically forced the authorities to prosecute and execute him. There is nothing exclusively religious, much less Christian, in this description, which, with a few exceptions, might apply also to Socrates or to "Che" Guevara. I asked many socially oriented ministers why they were Christians at all. Some said through faith, and some said that Christianity gave them courage and the motivation to endure (but so do other beliefs). Some said they hardly knew and that, if another, more acceptable, ideology came along, they would embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no language like the Irish for soothing and quieting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23057]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no language like the Irish for soothing and quieting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our yesterday's to-morrow now is gone, And still a new to-morrow does come on.  We by to-morrow draw out ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48928]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our yesterday's to-morrow now is gone, And still a new to-morrow does come on.  We by to-morrow draw out all our store,   Till the exhausted well can yield no more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you can't do this or that.
