What we can see is that both an incarnation and a virginal conception were thoroughly appropriate to the needs and circumstances of the case and were more "natural", in the sense of more appropriate, than the alternatives... In practice, denial of the virginal conception or inability to see its relevance almost always goes with an inadequate understanding of the Incarnation and of the Christian religion in general.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's more important-your goal, or others' opinions of your goal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21449]]></link><description><![CDATA[What's more important-your goal, or others' opinions of your goal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the besetting vice of democracies to substitute public opinion for law.
