This is plainly what has happened to many otherwise intelligent people. Over the years I have had hundreds of conversations with people, many of them of higher intellectual calibre than my own, who quite obviously had no idea of what Christianity is really about. I was in no case trying to catch them out: I was simply and gently trying to find out what they knew about the New Testament. My conclusion was that they knew virtually nothing. This I find pathetic and somewhat horrifying. It means that the most important Event in human history is politely and quietly bypassed. For it is not as though the evidence had been examined and found unconvincing: it had simply never been examined.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The perfect bureaucrat everywhere is the man who manages to make no decisions and escape all responsibility. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4994]]></link><description><![CDATA[The perfect bureaucrat everywhere is the man who manages to make no decisions and escape all responsibility.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After my injury, it could have gone either way, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37370]]></link><description><![CDATA[After my injury, it could have gone either way,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is just a system for getting someone to call you darling after sex ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55275]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is just a system for getting someone to call you darling after sex]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Will urban sprawl spread so far that most people lose all touch with nature?

But if our observer had the power and omniscience of the Lord, he would also feel and sense, pulsing through and vibrating from every one of us here below, a desperate and unending plea, "Notice me! I want to be known admired, and loved by the whole world!" And it is this, this glorious weakness, this dependence of ours on each other, that makes some of us usually heroes and fools at the same time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It turned out it was easier to write the grants because we were proposing bringing a lot of different people ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34159]]></link><description><![CDATA[It turned out it was easier to write the grants because we were proposing bringing a lot of different people and disciplines together in one spot.

The strength of every sin, the power of every evil temper, the most secret workings of our hearts, the weakness of any or all our virtues, is with a noonday clearness forced to be seen, as soon as the heart is made our prayer book, and we pray nothing, but according to what we read, and find there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7076</guid></item></channel></rss>
