Take the "obvious things" about Christ as listed by a contemporary minister:  He was a popular and controversial preacher; He gathered a group of followers; He spent most of his time with the disinherited; He taught with authority; He never married; He never (so far as we know) held a job; He did not participate in public affairs; He did not have income, property, or an address; He was in bitter and frequent conflict with the religious and political authorities; He seemed to expect that the world would be eminently, radically, and supernaturally transformed; He attacked the traditions and values of his own people; He practically forced the authorities to prosecute and execute him. There is nothing exclusively religious, much less Christian, in this description, which, with a few exceptions, might apply also to Socrates or to "Che" Guevara. I asked many socially oriented ministers why they were Christians at all. Some said through faith, and some said that Christianity gave them courage and the motivation to endure (but so do other beliefs). Some said they hardly knew and that, if another, more acceptable, ideology came along, they would embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In bed we laugh, in bed we cry; And born in bed, in bed we die;  The near approach ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3882]]></link><description><![CDATA[In bed we laugh, in bed we cry; And born in bed, in bed we die;  The near approach a bed may show   Of human bliss to human woe.    [Fr., Theatre des ris et des pleurs     Lit! ou je nais, et ou je meurs,      Tu nous fais voir comment voisins       Sont nos plaisirs et chagrins.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In science, read, by preference, the newest works; in literature, the oldest.

When self-esteem is low, our resilience in the face of life's adversities is diminished. We crumble before vicissitudes that a healthier sense of self could vanquish. We tend to be more influenced by the desire to avoid pain than to experience joy. Negatives have more power over us than positives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Funds are low again, hallelujah!
