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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12948]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Its roots are in American Negro culture, which is part of the whole country's heritage, ...

We are to go into the world and so to live our ordinary lives that, all unconsciously to us, those among whom we move will look at us again, and will begin to say, You know I used to doubt if there was much in Christianity save talk. But I have revised my opinion. There's So-and-so (that's you, you understand), that is a man in whom the thing is obviously working out. He used to be so touchy, so opinionative, so mean and shabby in his views, so dully ordinary. Yet now, undoubtedly, the man has won to self-control and a large generous mind, and -- yea, I know it's a queer thing to say -- but he has won to something more, something that somehow (though he never speaks about those things) makes you remember Jesus Christ!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18624]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am personally proud to fight for the cause of open government in the state of Texas, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35978]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am personally proud to fight for the cause of open government in the state of Texas,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole world will praise him and all Indians will be forever indebted to him if he does. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40877]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whole world will praise him and all Indians will be forever indebted to him if he does.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40877</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Direct The clasping ivy where to climb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23110]]></link><description><![CDATA[Direct The clasping ivy where to climb.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody deserves forgiveness and second chances, but not for the same mistake... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62877]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everybody deserves forgiveness and second chances, but not for the same mistake...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62877</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To have been happy, madame, adds to calamity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18631]]></link><description><![CDATA[To have been happy, madame, adds to calamity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is justice ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20941]]></link><description><![CDATA[Injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is justice]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2581]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think Mr. Trump has got his eye on Jen, ...
