What distinguishes the handling of these values in the churches is mainly the heavier dosage of religious vocabulary involved... Another way of putting this is to say that the churches operate with secular values while the secular institutions are permeated with religious terminology... An objective observer is hard put to tell the difference (at least in terms of values affirmed) between the church members and those who maintain an 'unchurched' status. Usually the most that can be said is that the church members hold the same values as everybody else, but with more emphatic solemnity. Thus, church membership in no way means adherence to a set of values at variance with those of the general society; rather, it means a stronger and more explicitly religious affirmation of the same values held by the community at large.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Either this or upon this.

All religions attempt to bridge the gulf between the terrific purity of God and the sinfulness of man, but Christianity believes that God built that bridge Himself. This particular Friday commemorates His deliberate action in allowing Himself to be caught up in the sin-suffering-death mechanism which haunts mankind. He didn't let it end there, for He went on, right through death. But the men who believe in Him can't forget the kind of Person such an act reveals. That's why they call it Good Friday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tragedy and comedy are but two aspects of what is real, and whether we see the tragic or the humorous ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46238]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tragedy and comedy are but two aspects of what is real, and whether we see the tragic or the humorous is a matter of perspective.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/115]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Isn't it strange?
