This is plainly what has happened to many otherwise intelligent people. Over the years I have had hundreds of conversations with people, many of them of higher intellectual calibre than my own, who quite obviously had no idea of what Christianity is really about. I was in no case trying to catch them out: I was simply and gently trying to find out what they knew about the New Testament. My conclusion was that they knew virtually nothing. This I find pathetic and somewhat horrifying. It means that the most important Event in human history is politely and quietly bypassed. For it is not as though the evidence had been examined and found unconvincing: it had simply never been examined.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15111]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fame you earn has a different taste from the fame that is forced upon you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kim is a great all-around athlete and a very versatile player.
