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[Poets alone are sure of immortality; they are the truest diviners of nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46847]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poets alone are sure of immortality; they are the truest diviners of nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We believe that the Street does not fully appreciate the risks associated with the company's two lead programs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41854]]></link><description><![CDATA[We believe that the Street does not fully appreciate the risks associated with the company's two lead programs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enemies are so stimulating. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13830]]></link><description><![CDATA[Enemies are so stimulating.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3297]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gods too are fond of a joke. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20056]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gods too are fond of a joke.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since twelve honest men have decided the cause, And were judges of fact, tho' not judges of laws. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23512]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since twelve honest men have decided the cause, And were judges of fact, tho' not judges of laws.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to know how God created this world.

A hard necessity that is, not to want something which can not be avoided. If it could be managed, we would much rather not die; we would like to become like the angels by some other means than death. "We have a building from God," says St. Paul, "a home not made with hands, everlasting in heaven. For indeed we groan, longing to be clothed over with our dwelling from heaven; provided, though we be found clothed, and not naked. For indeed we who are in this dwelling place groan, being burdened; in that we do not wish to be stripped, but to covered over, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life." We want to reach the kingdom of God, but we don't want to travel by way of death. And yet there stands Necessity saying: "This way, please." Do you hesitate, man, to go this way, when this is the way that God came to you?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8455</guid></item></channel></rss>
