And, in that case, we ought frankly to affirm that, though the New Testament is an amazing witness to the religious creativity of the human spirit, its actual message is more wrong than right, more misleading than helpful; and we must reconstruct our gospel accordingly. Only a weak, muddled, or cowardly mind will hesitate to do this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Lanfranc, Prior of Le Bec, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1089  The great danger facing all of us... is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7813]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Lanfranc, Prior of Le Bec, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1089  The great danger facing all of us... is not that we shall make an absolute failure of life, nor that we shall fall into outright viciousness, nor that we shall be terribly unhappy, nor that we shall feel [that] life has no meaning at all -- not these things. The danger is that we may fail to perceive life's greatest meaning, fall short of its highest good, miss its deepest and most abiding happiness, be unable to tender the most needed service, be unconscious of life ablaze with the light of the Presence of God -- and be content to have it so -- that is the danger: that some day we may wake up and find that always we have been busy with husks and trappings of life and have really missed life itself. For life without God, to one who has known the richness and joy of life with Him, is unthinkable, impossible. That is what one prays one's friends may be spared -- satisfaction with a life that falls short of the best, that has in it no tingle or thrill that comes from a friendship with the Father.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion and atheism will both survive it [the musical Jesus Christ Superstar by Time Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber]. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59065]]></link><description><![CDATA[Religion and atheism will both survive it [the musical Jesus Christ Superstar by Time Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber].]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing is a way of processing our lives.

According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea-bites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew once a very covetous, sordid fellow who used to say, "Take care of the pence, for the pounds ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42961]]></link><description><![CDATA[I knew once a very covetous, sordid fellow who used to say, "Take care of the pence, for the pounds will take care of themselves."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of course he's going to tell you about all the great benefits, ...
