Even though much of what we have exists only as a series of ones and zeroes somewhere in the information sphere, we do get paper copies and we should hang on to those. The movie 'The Net,' I think, makes a very intriguing point, about this very computer literate protagonist who has few human connections, and this is precisely the reason she's vulnerable to the kind of attack she suffers. It seems to me that if we keep that in mind we'll be well served.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your gonna screw up, do it while you're young.

Again and again in the Pentateuch, the psalms, the prophets, and the subsequent writings which derive from them, the claim is made that the creator of the entire universe has chosen to live uniquely on a small ridge called Mount Zion, near the eastern edge of the Judean hill-country. The sheer absurdity of this claim, from the standpoint of any other worldview (not least that of Enlightenment philosophy), is staggering. The fact that Assyria, Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Egypt again, Syria and now Rome had made explicit mockery of the idea did not shake this conviction, but only intensified it. This was what Jewish monotheism looked like on the ground.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the case of good books, the point is not how many of them you can get through, but rather ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4708]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the case of good books, the point is not how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Presents of love fear not to be ill taken of strangers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49717]]></link><description><![CDATA[Presents of love fear not to be ill taken of strangers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reggaeton is the first Spanish-language genre that Mexicans like, Caribbeans like it and South Americans like it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28907]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reggaeton is the first Spanish-language genre that Mexicans like, Caribbeans like it and South Americans like it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chicago is an October sort of city even in spring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5875]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chicago is an October sort of city even in spring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This total and entire conversion of the inner man, this absolute doing away of the old and acceptance of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7957]]></link><description><![CDATA[This total and entire conversion of the inner man, this absolute doing away of the old and acceptance of the new life, being in its nature a real breach and not a formal one, necessarily involved a corresponding outward breach with the old form of life. Of this breach Baptism was the sacrament. In Baptism the change was effected and realized in fact. Baptism was not a mere formal external act, a symbol of a spiritual fact which was already complete without it. A Spiritual conversion which was not also a conversion of life was no conversion at all, but a delusion... With the heart man believes, with the mouth he confesses; but a mouth which does not confess disproves the existence of a heart that believes. The soul cannot be God's and the life not God's at the same time. The soul can not be recreated and the life remain unchanged. The spiritual breach is proved and realized and completed in the outward breach. Where there is no outward change, it is safe to deny an inward change. Faith without Baptism and all that Baptism involved was consequently no part of St. Paul's teaching.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What the United States does best is to understand itself.
