I am referring to the almost total ignorance of the content and implication of the Christian Faith shown by many "clever" people today. Frankly, I find it horrifying to discover that men who are experts in their own line -- in astronomy, genetics, or nuclear physics, for example -- have no adult knowledge of what the Church of Christ stands for, and a complete blank ignorance of what the Church is achieving today. It is the more horrifying because people who rightly respect the expert for his knowledge in his own field have no idea that he has not carefully examined and reluctantly discarded Christianity; but in all probability he has never studied it at all!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is a book, and those who do not travel, read only a page. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59586]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is a book, and those who do not travel, read only a page.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59586</guid></item></channel></rss>
