Male sexuality is, by definition, intensely and rigidly phallic. A man's identity is located in his conception of himself as the possessor of a phallus; a man's worth is located in his pride in phallic identity. The main characteristic of phallic identity is that worth is entirely contingent on the possession of a phallus. Since men have no other criteria for worth, no other notion of identity, those who do not have phalluses are not recognized as fully human.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes I wish life had a fast-forward button. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24874]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes I wish life had a fast-forward button.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The church is the only place where someone speaks to me and I do not have to answer back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53534]]></link><description><![CDATA[The church is the only place where someone speaks to me and I do not have to answer back.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fortune and love favor the brave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64568]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fortune and love favor the brave.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's a very smart bowler, and he plays to the gallery as well which adds to the whole picture, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42548]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's a very smart bowler, and he plays to the gallery as well which adds to the whole picture,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One attempt to reconcile the Gnostic doctrine [of the unreality of evilness] of matter with the apostolic teaching about Christ ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6715]]></link><description><![CDATA[One attempt to reconcile the Gnostic doctrine [of the unreality of evilness] of matter with the apostolic teaching about Christ was the theory that the body which our Lord took at His coming into the world was not a real body but a phantom one. He only seemed to inhabit a material body, and from the Greek word dokein ["to seem"], people who held this theory were known as Docetists. But if Christ's incarnation was unreal, His death and resurrection were also unreal; and the whole gospel message was thus evacuated of its truth and power: one unhappy legacy of this short-lived phase of Christian heresy remains to bedevil Christian witness to Muslims up to the present day. For when the Koran says of Jesus that "they did not kill Him, nor did they crucify Him, but they thought they did", we may infer that Muhammad was indebted for this idea to a Christian source tainted with Docetism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bad men cannot make good citizens.
