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[I send thee pansies while the year is young, Yellow as sunshine, purple as the night;  Flowers of remembrance, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45440]]></link><description><![CDATA[I send thee pansies while the year is young, Yellow as sunshine, purple as the night;  Flowers of remembrance, ever fondly sung   By all the chiefest of the Sons of Light;    And if in recollection lives regret     For wasted days and dreams that were not true,      I tell thee that the "pansy freak'd with jet"       Is still the heart's ease that the poets knew        Take all the sweetness of a gift unsought,         And for the pansies send me back a thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is dainty to be sick if you have leisure and convenience for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20462]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is dainty to be sick if you have leisure and convenience for it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mad fellow met me on the way and told me I had unloaded all the gibbets and pressed the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55892]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mad fellow met me on the way and told me I had unloaded all the gibbets and pressed the dead bodies.
