So he automatically writes off any Biblical account of a wondrous happening which suggests that there is an order of reality transcending the observable regularities of nature and occasionally breaking in upon them. Nor is rational skepticism content with jettisoning the Bible's miracle stories. It also dismisses other passages on the grounds that they reflect the ignorance and prejudice of a particular age, or the propaganda interests of the Church at a particular stage of its development. Its basic rule of Biblical interpretation is: "When in doubt, throw it out." And the highest scores in the game of radical reductionism are awarded to pedagogues who find the most novel and far-fetched reasons for doubting that any part of the Bible really means what it says.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The finest eloquence is that which gets things done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22604]]></link><description><![CDATA[The finest eloquence is that which gets things done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The goal of all inanimate objects is to resist man and ultimately defeat him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11794]]></link><description><![CDATA[The goal of all inanimate objects is to resist man and ultimately defeat him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're delighted with the quality of all submissions.

The apostle calls it the band of perfection; it is the old, and it is the new, and it is the great commandment, and it is all the commandments; for it is the fulfilling of the Law. It does the work of all the graces without any instrument but its own immediate virtue. For as the love of sin makes a man sin against all his own reason, and all the discourses of wisdom, and all the advices of his friends, and without temptation and without opportunity, so does the love of God: it makes a man chaste without the laborious arts of fasting and exterior disciplines, temperate in the midst of feasts, and is active enough to choose it without any intermedial appetites, and reaches at glory through the very heart of grace, without any other aims but those of love. It is a grace that loves God for Himself, and our neighbors for God. The consideration of God's goodness and bounty, the experience of those profitable and excellent emanations from Him, may be, and most commonly are, the first motive of our love; but when we are once entered, and have tasted the goodness of God, we love the spring for its own excellency, passing from passion to reason, from thanking to adoring, from sense to spirit, from considering ourselves to union with God: and this is the image and little representation of heaven; it is beatitude in picture, or rather the infancy and beginning of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is vain to find fault with those arts of deceiving, wherein men find pleasure to be deceived. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11536]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is vain to find fault with those arts of deceiving, wherein men find pleasure to be deceived.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tauzin backs term limits -- But he thinks it's a bad idea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47269]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tauzin backs term limits -- But he thinks it's a bad idea.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This will be to coordinate inquiries and efforts, exchange information and plan for the future. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29320]]></link><description><![CDATA[This will be to coordinate inquiries and efforts, exchange information and plan for the future.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The one important thing I have learned over the years is the difference between taking one's work seriously and taking ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55062]]></link><description><![CDATA[The one important thing I have learned over the years is the difference between taking one's work seriously and taking one's self seriously.

Man, a child of God, is a person with a personal destiny and with eternal value. This Christian belief underlies the democratic principle that the State, first of all, exists for the sake of its citizens; the individual is important... As Christians we also believe that we are made for one another because we are made for God. "Solidarity" is a good word for our essential condition. Beneath all our differences is a unity... This Christian belief underlies a second basic democratic principle, which is, in governing themselves, people of a community -- in a town, a city, a state, a nation -- can, despite inevitable conflicts, press effectively toward the goal of justice and liberty for all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6192</guid></item></channel></rss>
