It is surely life itself that makes against belief in most cases. It is the contradiction in real life between any image of God as good -- whether God is "above", "beneath", or "within" -- that makes men atheists. Yet how few books and how few sermons touch on this basic problem! Our theological libraries are crammed with books devoted to every aspect of textual and higher criticism of the Bible; but of genuine theological thinking about the things which drive religion from men's hearts, there is appallingly little to be found. The archaeology of Christian origins seems largely to have replaced genuine theology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trouble with peace propaganda is that when it is permitted it isn't necessary, and when it's necessary it isn't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48419]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trouble with peace propaganda is that when it is permitted it isn't necessary, and when it's necessary it isn't permitted]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But as a district, we?re not too small and we?re not too big to try this, we?re just about right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38681]]></link><description><![CDATA[But as a district, we?re not too small and we?re not too big to try this, we?re just about right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The novelty is that we reveal a potential communication, involving the transmitter serotonin, between immune cells that is normally only ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35672]]></link><description><![CDATA[The novelty is that we reveal a potential communication, involving the transmitter serotonin, between immune cells that is normally only found between neurons.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some self-confronting questions: "Where do I want to be at any given time?"
