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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silence is foolish if we are wise, but wise if we are foolish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56314]]></link><description><![CDATA[Silence is foolish if we are wise, but wise if we are foolish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ninety percent of success is showing up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22751]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ninety percent of success is showing up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility,then Athens ceased to be free and was never free ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22327]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility,then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hooks of steel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51253]]></link><description><![CDATA[The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hooks of steel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise man proportions his belief to the evidence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53672]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise man proportions his belief to the evidence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Try praising your wife, even if it does frighten her at first ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61858]]></link><description><![CDATA[Try praising your wife, even if it does frighten her at first]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61858</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History never looks like history when you are living through it.
